Abstract

In February 2023 the Landsat 8 mission with its two payloads passed the milestone for a decade of on-orbit operation. This manuscript would summaries major events that occurred through this period to the observatory which includes the spacecraft the two science payloads and their on-board calibration components. It provides a review and decadal summary for the radiometric and geometric performance and stability of the OLI and the TIRS science payloads. Highlights of the current state of the Radiometric and Geometric characteristics performance will be shown. This manuscript illustrates, that despite various safehold events and other technical challenges the Landsat 8 mission continue to perform extremely well, successfully expending the Landsat earth-data archive from 40 years to beyond the 50 years mark.
