A Landsat scene is a digital image of the earth as seen by one or another of the radiometers in the Landsat satellite in orbit.
Each radiometer is sensitive to a different band of light (the most recent Landsat has 7 radiometers giving 7 bands).
The scenes from the red, green, and blue radiometers can be overlayed to give a true-color image.
The scenes from the various infrared radiometers can be substituted to give a false-color image, which can show useful information that is difficult to see in the true-color image.
That depends on the satellite. Many use cameras of various types, such as radio imaging, infrared, or visible spectrum. Others are used to measure pressure waves traveling through space. They can be designed to measure just about anything.
Landsat orbits in a sun-synchronous polar orbit, declined at 99 degrees (so 9 degrees from 90). It makes about 14 passes over the Earth every day given its orbital parameters but does not pass over the same spot more than once in 16 days. So essentially, it passes over the Earth roughly north-south many times a day, just about going over the poles and back up again.
Scene abstract noun
The Cosmic Scene was created in 1958.
The crime scene investigators use the biotechnology and genetis technology for solving their case. They collect every sample from the crime scene and perform the laboratory tests on it which gives them clue about what would have happened on the crime scene and then DNA and the fingerprints are used to prove the identity of the person associated with crime scene

The power source for a Landsat satellite are four solar panels. Each solar panel was 2.3 meters by 1.5 meters.
