ASTER Data Products

ASTER provides the user community with Standard Data Products throughout the life of the mission. Algorithms to compute these products were created by the ASTER Science Team, and are implemented at the Land Processes DAAC. Users can order these products through the EOS Data Gateway.

The Product Version Table provides product history information. This table will be very useful for users who need to know the dates and Release Designations associated with different versions of the software (or "PGE") used to generate the products. For the Level 1 products, complete version history is available in the Level 1 Release Notes that are maintained by Japan.

* Release Status:

  • Provisional. This product is only partially validated. Under some circumstances it may be useful in scientific publications, however, because validation is not complete it may have reduced accuracy. Caution is strongly advised, and the product should be identified as "provisional" in any publications.
  • Validated. This product has been formally validated and is ready for use in scientific publications. Later, improved versions may be released.
