NASA is hosting a webinar on September 23 to provide updates on the Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition (CSDA) program, which grants licensed access to commercial Earth observation data.
Why it matters
By supplementing free data with high-resolution and high-frequency commercial datasets, the program allows researchers to develop more precise and actionable applied solutions.
The big picture
This program's focus on data acquisition and access aligns with NASA's broader efforts to promote open scientific data sharing, as seen in the Artemis Accords workshops.
The details
The webinar will cover data modalities, the new calibration/validation initiative, and the status of existing task orders. It will also address end-user licensing, new learning resources, and the Satellite Data Explorer's archive and tasking capabilities.
What's next
NASA will hold the program update webinar on September 23.
