As the name implies, the LDCM (effectively Landsat-8) is designed to extend the Landsat program's nearly 40 years of continuous normalized satellite-based earth observation for at least five additional years. Beyond that, the US congress has ordered studies to support the development of a ninth mission - (effectively Landsat-9).The design of the Landsat-8 OLI (Operational Land Imager) will offer the following performance improvements over that Landsat-7 ETM+ (Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus
By early 2013 we hope to be offering fully supported Landsat-8 based solutions worldwide by way of these options
