EOSDIS Data Centers Printer-friendly version Add This

The EOSDIS data centers process, archive, document, and distribute data from NASA's past and current Earth-observing satellites and field measurement programs. Each center serves a specific Earth system science discipline and provides users with data products, services, and data-handling tools unique to the center's specialty. User services include:

  • Assistance in selecting and obtaining data
  • Access to data-handling and visualization tools
  • Notification of data-related news
  • Technical support and referrals
