When LANDSAT. the National Aeronautic and Space Administration's earth resources satellite, passed over Rappahannock on March 26, 1981, its shutter snapped.
TTie data taken from that photograph is now being generated at NASA offices at Langley Air Force Base into detailed maps and color photographs which should be available in early October, according to John Capelle. executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission.
LANDSAT's computer print-out data covers the other four counties in the planning district as well as Rappahannock. “This information for the first time gives us a complete picture of this region’s natural resources,” said Capelle.
He noted that the information will be extremely useful in land use planning activities, watershed studies, prime farmland analysis, siting utilities, forestry management planning and water resource planning.
The LANDSAT environmental data, processed by the Virginia Institute Of Marine Sciences in Gloucester Point, is a joint demonstration project between the planning district and the Virginia Department ot Taxation’s Commonwealth Data Base program.
