Your Name in Landsat
Type your name and watch it come alive as NASA Landsat satellite imagery of Earth
Each tile is a real Landsat satellite photograph — natural landforms that resemble letters, captured from orbit over 50+ years of Earth observation
What is Landsat?
Landsat — short for "Land Satellite" — is a joint NASA and USGS program that has been continuously photographing Earth from orbit since 1972. It's the longest-running satellite imagery record of our planet's surface. Your Name in Landsat uses these real photographs to find natural landforms that resemble letters of the alphabet.
A-Z from NASA Satellite Imagery
Enter any combination of letters to create your personalized Landsat composition. Each tile is a real photograph from NASA's archive — rivers, canyons, and coastlines that naturally form letter shapes when seen from space.
Find Your Name in Landsat
Every letter tile comes with authentic location data and coordinates. Tap any tile to discover where on Earth that image was captured — from the Yukon Delta in Alaska to crater lakes in Oregon.
Spell Your Name with Switchable Tiles
Unlike NASA's original version, you can switch each letter tile independently. Find the perfect satellite image for every position until your name on Landsat looks exactly the way you want.
Download & Share Your Creation
Export your assembled image as a high-quality PNG, or share a link that preserves your exact tile selections. Recipients will see the same composition you created — no account needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Letters A-Z and spaces. Type any name, word, or short phrase to see it spelled out in authentic NASA Landsat satellite imagery.
Yes! Unlike NASA’s original version, this tool supports spaces. Type a full name like “John Smith” and visual gaps will render naturally between the words.
Every tile is sourced from NASA’s Landsat satellite archive, which spans more than 50 years of continuous Earth observation. The imagery comes from the same science.nasa.gov database used by the official Your Name in Landsat interactive.
Absolutely. Click the switch button on any tile to cycle through different satellite images for that letter. Each variant shows a different location on Earth where a Landsat satellite captured a natural landform resembling that character.
Yes — click the download button to export your complete NASA name in Landsat composition as a PNG image, rendered at 2× resolution for crisp, high-quality output.
Yes. Every composition generates a unique shareable link that preserves your specific tile selections. You can also scan the QR code from the share dialog on your phone.
This website adds several enhancements over the official science.nasa.gov Your Name in Landsat interactive: multi-word support with spaces, per-tile switching, QR code sharing, and a responsive mobile-friendly design. The official NASA version lives at science.nasa.gov/specials/your-name-in-landsat/.
No. This is an independent project inspired by NASA’s interactive. Landsat is jointly managed by NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). All satellite imagery is public-domain data from the Landsat Earth observation program.
Landsat is short for “Land Satellite” — a series of Earth-observing satellites launched since 1972. The NASA/USGS Landsat program provides the longest continuous space-based record of Earth’s surface, and its data is freely available worldwide for climate monitoring, agriculture, forestry, and urban planning.
