Background
NASA supports users requesting archived data as well as new acquisitions provided through NGA's NextView license. Per agreement with NGA, NASA researchers can only access certain datasets via the Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition (CSDA) program. Other agencies may still need to access data such as Maxar through NGA-provided interfaces. All users who request products via NASA's CSDA program are vetted to ensure they are legitimate and understand the license restrictions. NASA's commercial archive is being moved to the cloud. Specific information can be found on CSDA's website linked below.
