We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS)
These new vegetation indices offer the same near-global coverage, and 30-meter spatial resolution as the initial HLS products.
The release of the HLS codebase gives product users greater visibility into the project’s image processing pipeline.
The purpose of the Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) project led by IMPACT, is to combine two or more data streams into a single data set and increase their value.
In partnership with IBM, NASA constructed the first geospatial foundation model specifically trained with Earth observation satellite imagery.
