The ESDIS Project is responsible for:
- Processing, archiving, and distributing Earth science satellite data (e.g., land, ocean and atmosphere data products)
- Providing tools to facilitate the processing, archiving, and distribution of Earth science data
- Collecting metrics and user satisfaction data to learn how to continue improving services provided to users
- Ensuring scientists and the public have access to data to enable the study of Earth from space to advance scientific understanding and meet societal needs.
The ESDIS Project manages the science systems of the Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS). EOSDIS provides science data to a wide community of users for NASA's Science Mission Directorate.
