DATA.NASA.GOV: A catalog of publicly available NASA datasets
DATA.NASA.GOV is NASA's clearinghouse site for open-data provided to the public.
Tens of thousands of datasets are available for you.
The majority of dataset pages on data.nasa.gov only hold metadata for each dataset. It is common for the actual data to be held on other NASA archive sites. Data.nasa.gov will have the metadata and links to the data as it exists in those many other locations.
Some datasets on data.nasa.gov are harvested from other NASA data archives and other datasets only exist on data.nasa.gov. This slideshow created for SpaceApps Hackathon participants explains the wider NASA data universe and has some suggestions for finding NASA data.
Do You Want to Upload New NASA Datasets?
New dataset requests are currently not being accepted due to a major platform migration effort. Please contact the NASA Data Support Team for your support needs.
