ASF DAAC Data Access and Tools

Please note: As part of the Web Unification Project, we are working to import all datasets archived by NASA’s Alaska Satellite Facility Distributed Active Archive Center (ASF DAAC) into our catalog. During this transition, you can also access their datasets by DOI on their website. Access a list of dataset DOIs at ASF DAAC

ASF DAAC provides the Earth science community with global synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. Explore ASF DAAC datasets and learn more about relevant data tools. If you need to download lots of data at once, see ASF DAAC's bulk data download options and related tutorials.

NISAR sample datasets are available through ASF DAAC so you can explore data formats, test workflows, and prepare your tools ahead of the mission’s full release. These examples help users become familiar with NISAR data and learn how to integrate it into their research or applications.
