Search, discover, and access NASA acquired commercial small satellite data.

NASA’s CSDA Program is committed to identifying and evaluating commercial SmallSat data that have the potential to support NASA's Earth science research and application activities. Currently, this tool supports search, discovery, and access to vendor data acquired as part of the CSDA Program's evaluation effort and ongoing collaborations summarized in the SDX Summary of Discoverable Data table. All users can browse the data holdings; however downloading data requires user authentication and approval.

The CSDA Program's initial data evaluation phase also includes products from Maxar Technologies, Inc. (formerly DigitalGlobe, Inc.). NASA-funded investigators approved for access may submit a request for these data to the CSDA data team. Additional information on the CSDA Program, data availability, and the technical specifications of the commercial data can be found at the CSDA Program webpage.
