Earthdata Search provides sub-second searches through more than 119 petabytes (PB) of Earth observation data in NASA's archive. The application is backed by NASA’s Common Metadata Repository (CMR) and eases the technical burden on users by providing a high-quality tool that makes it simple to discover and interact with Earth observation data created or distributed by NASA.
Earthdata Search and CMR enable search and discovery of NASA Earth observation data as well as data previously only available through the Global Change Master Directory, including data from NOAA, ESA (European Space Agency), JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), and ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization). Please note that some data services available through NASA’s Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Project may not work with non-NASA partner data.
NASA is a member of the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS), and CMR houses tens of thousands of collection records from the dozens of other CEOS member agencies in addition to NASA's Earth Observation Data. These are all made discoverable through an Earthdata Search Portal called the International Directory Network (IDN).
