Abstract
Copies of a satellite space view of the conterminous United States have been printed by the U.S. Geological Survey for public sale.The black and white mosaic of images taken by NASA's Landsat 1 earth resources survey satellite (formerly called Erts 1) shows what the nation, on the eve of its 200th anniversary, looks like from 570 miles in space. The 29‐ by 41‐inch copies printed by the USGS at a scale of 1:5,000,000 are reproductions of a larger master mosaic of the 48 conterminous states prepared by the Soil Conservation Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture from parts of 595 Landsat 1 pictures taken between July 25 and October 31, 1972. The USDA has available for sale some more expensive photographic copies of the mosaic in a variety of sizes and costs.
