LANCE Data Access and Tools

NASA's Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for Earth observation (LANCE) data and imagery enable users to get a snapshot of Earth in near real-time, typically within 3 hours from satellite observation.

Please note: the LANCE Datasets table is not yet enabled. For LANCE data, please go to the LANCE Overview and see the data links under LANCE at a Glance.
