“The mission of the CSDA Program is to identify, evaluate, and acquire data from commercial sources that support NASA’s Earth science research and application goals,” said CSDA Project Manager Dana Ostrenga. “The addition of this product from Satellogic to the SDX demonstrates the CSDA Program’s ongoing commitment to that mission, as well as to our objective of bringing high-quality, Earth observation data from NASA’s commercial partners to the Earth Science community.”
This Level 1D product, which is equivalent to a NASA-defined Level 1C data product, is derived from satellites in Satellogic’s NewSat constellation, each of which carries a multispectral camera offering four bands in visible (red, green, and blue) and near-infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The product provides images covering 25,000 square kilometers (km2) of the Satellogic archive.
Researchers interested in accessing this data product in SDX can use their Earthdata Login for authentication and initiate data download requests. The product includes all associated metadata and documentation, and its use is governed by the United States government plus End User License Agreement (USG EULA)
The SDX allows users to search, discover, and access a variety of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), digital elevation model (DEM), synthetic aperture radar (SAR), multispectral, and precipitation radar data acquired through the CSDA program. It also provides streamlined data download, automated quota tracking, and a new coverage map that provides a high-level overview of the spatial coverage of the data discoverable through the SDX for any specified month and year. For a summary of the NASA commercial partner datasets available in SDX, visit the SDX website.
To order data from SDX, users must create an account with and be logged in to NASA Earthdata. (The initial attempt to use SDX will redirect users to Earthdata Login, where they will be prompted to enter their Earthdata credentials and accept the terms of the EULA.) Users must agree to the terms of the EULA before any data can be requested. Note: All data requests must be approved by CSDA data managers.
NASA’s Earth Science Division (ESD) established the CSDA Program to identify, evaluate, and acquire data from commercial providers that to support NASA’s Earth science research and applications. NASA recognizes the potential of commercial satellite constellations to advance Earth System Science and applications for societal benefit and believes commercially acquired data may also can augment the Earth observations acquired by NASA, and other U.S. government agencies, and NASA’s international partners.
All data from CSDA contract-awarded vendors are evaluated by the investigator-led CSDA project teams that assess the value of adding a vendor’s data to CSDA’s data holdings based on their quality and how they might benefit in the context of NASA Earth science research and applications. To learn more about the program, its commercial partners, data evaluation process, and more, visit the CSDA website.
For more information on the CSDA Program’s SDX, see the SDX user guide.

Gut das ihr hier im #Fediverse seit 😉
Berlin, 27. Januar 2026 – Morgen ist Europäischer Datenschutztag. Der Tag erinnert an die Unterzeichnung der Datenschutzkonvention Nr. 108 des Europarats 1981 und soll die Öffentlichkeit für den Schutz personenbezogener Daten sensibilisieren.Piratenpartei Deutschland
Hier wollen wir mit Euch zusammen an jeden 1. Sonntag im Monat zwischen 15:00 und 19:30 Uhr im Murx einen Offenen Freiraum mit anarchistischer Grundausrichtung schaffen, in welchen es um Austausch und Vernetzung gehen soll. Natürlich kann man auch einfach nur gemütlich einen Kaffee trinken, oder auch nur abhängen. Es besteht kein Konsumzwang, wenn gewollt kann selbst etwas zu trinken oder zu essen mitgebracht werden. Die Getränke des Cafés gibt es auf Spendenbasis.
Willst Du Dich beim Café Libertad einbringen oder mehr über den Hintergrund erfahren, empfehlen wir Dir den Langtext dazu zu lesen, Du findest ihn auf der Webseite des Murx und auch direkt unter murx-heidelberg.de/cafe-libert… Wir freuen uns wenn Du uns deshalb ansprichst.
Wann: Jeden 1. Sonntag im Monat, 15:00 bis 19:30 Uhr
Wo: Freiraum Murx, Oberbadgasse 6, 69117 Heidelberg-Altstadt
ÖPNV: Rathaus/Bergbahn, Heidelberg oder Alte Brücke, Heidelberg
Barrierefreiheit: Weitgehend barrierearm
Wichtig: Solltet Ihr Euch krank fühlen, dann bleibt bitte daheim, das Café Libertad gibt es an jeden ersten Sonntag im Monat und wir freuen uns Euch zu sehen wenn es Euch wieder gut geht. Natürlich haben wir wenn Ihr Euch nicht sicher seid vor Ort auch Corona-Tests und Masken.
Info: Leider ist es uns nicht möglich Informationen zum Café Libertad auch in der gut besuchten 'Demo-Info Rhein-Neckar' Telegram Gruppe zuverlässig zur Verfügung zu stellen, da genau diese Beiträge nach kurzer Zeit gezielt wieder gelöscht werden. Wir bedauern dieses unsolidarische Handeln ausdrücklich und versuchen es weiter.

Anlässlich des „I Love Free Software Day“ am 14. Februar lädt die Berliner Gruppe der Free Software Foundation Europe zu einem Workshop über persönliche digitale Unabhängigkeit in den Werkraum der Pablo-Neruda-Bibliothek ein.
Software bestimmt schon lange viele Aspekte unseres täglichen Lebens. Viele Entscheidungen werden mithilfe digitaler Assistenten getroffen. Digitale Unabhängigkeit scheint in weite Ferne gerückt zu sein. Nach einem kurzen Impulsvortrag zu Freier Software und Digitaler Unabhängigkeit wollen wir in einer kurzen Runde unsere liebsten Alltagshelfer vorstellen und uns dann in kleinen Gruppen den alltäglichen Problemen mit Software widmen.
Der Workshop findet am 14.02.2026 von 14 bis 16 Uhr in der Bezirkszentralbibliothek Pablo Neruda (Frankfurter Allee 14 A, 10247 Berlin) statt. Die Teilnahme am Workshop ist kostenlos.
Bitte meldet euch unter diesem Link unverbindlich an, damit wir einen Überblick über die Zahl der Teilnehmenden haben.
