G-LiHT Trajectory Data V001

Metadata Updated: April 10, 2026

Goddard’s LiDAR, Hyperspectral, and Thermal Imagery (G-LiHT) mission is a portable, airborne imaging system that aims to simultaneously map the composition, structure, and function of terrestrial ecosystems. G-LiHT primarily focuses on a broad diversity of forest communities and ecoregions in North America, mapping aerial swaths over Conterminous United States (CONUS), Alaska, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. The purpose of G-LiHT’s Trajectory data product (GLTRAJECTORY) is to provide aircraft location and orientation to support and supplement other G-LiHT data products. GLTRAJECTORY data are processed as a Google Earth overlay Keyhole Markup Language (KML) file over the extent of an entire flight path. A low resolution browse is also provided to show the flight path.
