Cover Story: The Landsat 8 and 9 Underfly Event occurred in November 2021, where L9 flew beneath L8 in the final stages before settling in its final orbiting path. An initial analysis, dubbed “Phase 1”, was performed on the images taken during this event, which resulted in a cross-calibration with uncertainties estimated to be less than 1%. This level of precision was due in part to the near-identical sensors aboard each instrument as well as the underfly event itself, which allowed the sensors to take nearly the exact same image at nearly the exact same time. There were three forms of uncertainty established in Phase 1: geometric, spectral, and angular. This paper covers Phase 2 of the underfly analysis, which made several modifications to the Phase 1 process. The results here were used by USGS EROS to update the L9 calibration at the end of 2022. View this paper
