- Insert the raster files.
- Select the output location.
- Specify a name and extension for the output.

How do I merge images in ArcMap?
To use this function, you need to open the attribute table and select the rows in the table representing one image, then right-click the Footprint layer and click Selection > Merge Selected Items. The selected items will be converted from individual items into one new item (row) in the mosaic dataset’s attribute table.
How are satellite images different from photographs and data?
Satellites, like Landsat 7, fly high above the earth, using instruments to collect data at specific wavelengths. These data can then be used to build an image. Satellite instruments are able to obtain many images of the same location, at the same time.
Which is the best site to get free satellite imagery?
LandViewer offers miscellaneous global satellite images. You can get the most free up-to-date satellite imagery. It also features an impressive list of free high-resolution satellite images for search
Are there any satellites that collect optical imagery?
Optical Landsat imagery has been collected at 30 m resolution since the early 1980s. Beginning with Landsat 5, thermal infrared imagery was also collected (at coarser spatial resolution than the optical data). The Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 satellites are currently in orbit. Landsat 9 is planned.
Where can I find old satellite images of an area?
If you’re looking for old satellite images of an area dated before 1982, you can go to USGS Earth Explorer and comb through Landsat 1, Landsat 2 or Landsat 3 datasets that aren’t available in LandViewer. There’s an additional source of historical images – aerial datasets collected by aircraft as the name suggests.
