Since these are based on landsat products, we will need the WRS-2 shapefiles which can be found on the USGS Landsat website. This is the descending orbit (daytime) data for Landsat 4-8, but ascending data and data for Landsat 1-3 are also available: https://www.usgs.gov/land-resources/nli/landsat/landsat-path-row-shapefiles-and-kml-files
