  • One dead link, check the external links section of the toolbox. --  Done --- Coffeeandcrumbs 06:06, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Landsat 3 was the last satellite to have a similar design to Landsat 1, and was the last Landsat to be managed by NASA during the Landsat Program.[2][4] Landsat 3 was launched in 1978." Merge these two sentences. --  Done --- Coffeeandcrumbs 06:06, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The spacecraft was built by GE Astro Space, who would later become Lockheed Martin Missile and Space." This contradicts the infobox.
    • Woof, that was harder to figure out than I imagined. Fairchild Industries was in charge of a major subsystem, the multimission modular spacecraft. GE Astro Space was the prime contractor. Hughes Aircraft did the TM and MSS. I will make sure all of that is accurately reflected in the article. Kees08 (Talk)
    • Okay, got all that fixed, added in who made various portions of the spacecraft as well. Kees08 (Talk)
  • Operation section could use a lot more links. For example, quantization, NiCd, etc...
  • "Landsat 4 carried an updated Multi-Spectral Scanner used on previous Landsat satellites," Comma needed after MSS.
    • Also the abbreviation should be added here first. --  Done --- Coffeeandcrumbs
    • Remove the second link to MSS. --  Done --- Coffeeandcrumbs
  • "Landsat 4 was placed into a north-south near polar orbit.[6] It was placed in an orbit of approximately 700 kilometres (430 mi) off of Earth's surface, circling the globe every 99 minutes." Merge these two sentences. --  Done --- Coffeeandcrumbs
  • "brought back on line" Online? --  Done --- Coffeeandcrumbs
  • "[12][8]" Put refs in order. --  Done --- Coffeeandcrumbs 06:29, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
