NASA’s Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Project is responsible for the storage and public distribution of NASA Earth science data. ESDIS partners with NASA-funded data creators and providers to archive and serve their data to a global community of millions of users. ESDIS offers this service through discipline-specific and common tools, at no cost to the data provider, with the added benefit of protecting data from disaster and technology obsolescence.

ESDIS continues to be committed to the preservation and stewardship of standard products generated by NASA’s Earth Science missions. However, ESDIS is unable to consider unsolicited data archival requests at this time.  We recognize and appreciate your efforts to produce and share quality Earth science data. NASA is working on a solution for NASA-funded data providers that need a repository to store their datasets in support of open science and publishing requirements. We will provide details once they are available. NASA’s resource Where to Share Data provides additional guidance and a list of alternative repositories that meet SPD-41a requirements.  

NASA is working on a way to make NASA-funded data archived at non-NASA repositories discoverable through Earth Science Data System (ESDS) interfaces.
