Landsat D, scheduled for launch in 1981, is designed to be a complete end-to-end highly automated data gathering and processing system providing a major step forward in global remote sensing for earth resources applications. This paper discusses the major components of the flight segment (the Multimission Modular Spacecraft, the Thematic Mapper and the Multispectral Scanner Subsystem) and of the ground segment (the Data Management System and the Landsat-D Assessment System). Descriptions and diagrams illustrating various aspects of flight and ground segments are provided.
