LANDSAT is a series of satellites that photograph the Earth. The Landsat program is the longest running enterprise for acquisition of imagery of Earth from space. The first Landsat satellite was launched in 1972; the most recent, Landsat 7, was launched on April 15, 1999. The millions of images images, archived in the United States and at Landsat receiving stations around the world, are a unique resource for global change research and applications in agriculture, cartography, geology, forestry, regional planning, surveillance, education and national security. Landsat 7 data has eight spectral bands with spatial resolutions ranging from 15 to 60 meters; the temporal resolution is 16 days.
Spot and Landsat are both remote sensing patforms operating over several bands of light. Landsat is older and american and spot is younger and french they are tasked very differntly. spot has the ability to capture sterio imagery and tilt its lens' in order to capture areas it is not directly overhead from whereas Landsats instruments are fix so has a set revist time of off the top of my head i think 16 days. Landsat has a lower resolution...... this list goes on and on there completly differnt apart from the fact that there remote sensing platforms
Landsat is a series of Earth observation satellites operated by NASA and the United States Geological Survey.
The program began in 1967.

Landsat imagery is free. It is paid for by American tax dollars.

Actually its not the altitude of the satellite but the resolution of the camera that is responsible for a high resolution imagery. In fact the better resolution imagery in Google Earth comes from aerial and street-level photography.
Among one of many differences is that Landsat is Polar-orbiting while GOES is geostationary. This also means that GOES is much further above the surface, so the resolution is poorer.
