Sentinel Hubis one of the most used portals for accessing satellite data. Through Sentinel Hub, users can access all Sentinel products, as soon as they are made available. This also includes a trove of historical (archive) satellite images. Sentinel Hub also gives users access to Landsat and MODIS products. Sentinel-2 offers 10-meter resolution in ...
Earth Exploreris a free in-browser platform to access Landsat satellite imagery. Landsat is a joint NASA/USGS program that provides the longest continuous space-based record of Earth’s land in existence. The first images are over 40 years old. Landsat-8, the latest satellite in the mission, was launched in 2013, and is currently the second highest ...
Through their web portal, NOAAoffers free access to GEOS-R and NOAA-20 data. GOES-R data is refreshed every approximately every 15 minutes, making it the closest thing to real-time satellite data. However, GOES-R satellites are geo-stationary satellites, therefore located in really high orbits. This means the data they produced is very low resoluti...
Similar to the Sentinel Hub in terms of available datasets, but geared towards developers who need low-resolution Earth satellite data for their applications. The Copernicus Open Access Huboffers an API for developers to access the open datasets. Pros: Open datasets, available directly for download through an API, including SAR datasets. Cons: 1. R...
Most of the open datasets are hosted on Amazon Web Services. Which prompted AWS to offer a direct way of accessing them, Earth on AWS. They also offer Cloud Credits to students, researchers, and developers (apply here). Available datasets including Sentinel-2, Landsat-8, GEOS, NOAA, Sentinel-1, and data acquired by the China-Brazil Earth Resources ...
Fairly similar to Google Earth (especially since it’s the Bing competitor), Zoom Earthshows the most recent satellite images and aerial views in a fast, zoomable map. The platform pulls in refreshed data every 10 minutes from NOAA GOES and JMA Himawari-8 satellites, and every 15 minutes via EUMETSAT Meteosat satellites. Daily images are provided by...
NASA Worldviewis a browsable, open platform that will let you access recently updated satellite data, as well as historical data. The available date picker at the bottom of the screen lets you easily view past data and monitor change. The platform also offers a way to access data based on the most recent stories (wildfires, sandstorms, weather even...
Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS)provides quick access to over 900 satellite imagery products, covering every part of the world. Most imagery is updated daily - available within a few hours after satellite observation, and some products span almost 30 years. The data available through GIBS is the same as in Worldview (see above), but they also ...
EARTHNOW
EarthNowis described as the Landsat image viewer. A very visual way of locating where the Landsat satellites are currently located and view recent records. It’s a fantastic resource to teach children (and adults) about orbits and remote sensing.
NASA EARTH OBSERVATION / ESA ONLINE DISSEMINATION
NEO is a great source of non-optical datasets from NASA. ESA Online Disseminationplays the same role for ESA data.
INPE CATALOG
INPE Catalogoffers access to a trove of satellite data, including some high resolution open data. INPE Image Catalog is awesome when it comes to South America, Central America and Africa but does not cover other world regions.
