Bidding Farewell to the Mother of Landsat

Virginia T. Norwood, a founding figure in the field of satellite land imaging, died on Sunday, March 26 at age 96. Known as the “Mother of Landsat,” Norwood designed the first space-based multispectral scanner that flew on  Landsat 1—an instrument that went on to define many aspects of modern remote sensing.
