The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) released a request for proposals (RFP) on January 09, 2007 for an Operational Land Imager (OLI). The RFP specified the OLI as the principal sensor for the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM), the successor mission to Landsat 7. The RFP provides requirements for OLI performance, special calibration tests, and mission assurance without specifying a particular technical design. The performance specifications derive from the heritage and societal benefits of data from the previous Landsat satellites, the high standards set by the performance of the Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper-Plus, direction from the Executive Office of the President, cognizance of current technology, and an eye to the future of land remote sensing beyond the LDCM. The specification includes nine spectral bands (four visible, one near infrared, three shortwave infrared, and one panchromatic band), spatial resolution of 30 m with the exception of a 15 m panchromatic resolution, stringent radiometric performance and absolute calibration, and accurate image geolocation with precise band-to-band and multitemporal image-to-image registration. Proposals were due on February 23, 2007 with selection and contract award anticipated by June 2007. The RFP requires delivery of a well-characterized instrument for spacecraft integration within 39 months of contract award. This schedule leads to a target LDCM launch date of July, 2011.
