How to Access Data

Project Proposal (Restrained): Access to this data collection is provided only after submitting and receiving approval for a project proposal. Access is limited to accepted projects that meet the conditions defined by ESA.

Access Steps:

  1. Create or log in to EO Sign In (users are recommended to register with an institutional email address)
  2. Go to the Project Proposal form.
  3. Complete and submit the form with details of your proposed data use. 
  4. ESA will evaluate your proposal (normally within 9 weeks).
  5. If approved, you will receive a confirmation email with the quota assigned and instructions on how to order the data.

The collection is open for research and application development projects, exclusively for non-commercial, non-operational, and civil Earth observation research purposes. Submission of a Project Proposal is mandatory and subject to evaluation by ESA and the data owner.

ESA supports as many high-quality and innovative projects as possible within the quota limits. This means only a limited number of products can be allocated to each project. 

  • Learn more about the quota limits and see a comparison across missions in our FAQ: How much data may I request in a Project Proposal?
  • For guidance on preparing your proposal, see our How to access data requiring a project proposal guide.
  • Availability and restrictions to the use of the data are described in the Terms of Applicability document.

Collection Description

GEOSAT-1 full archive and new tasking products are available at 22 m resolution in two processing levels.

  • L1R (Basic Geopositioned): All 3 spectral channels combined into a band-registered image. Geopositioned product based on sensor model. Coefficients derived from satellite orientation parameters coming from telemetry and appended to metadata
  • L1T (L1R orthorectified): Orthorectified to sub-pixel accuracy (10 metres RMS error approximately) with respect to Landsat ETM+ reference data and hole-filled seamless SRTM DEM data V3, 2006 (90 m).

GEOSAT-1 products are provided in DIMAP format. The image products are delivered in the TIFF and GeoTIFF image formats by default. All products can be provided in False Colours (R,G,NIR) or Natural Colours (R, G, Synthetic Blue).

Having Problems Accessing Data?

How much data may I request in a Project Proposal?

Access to some restrained data collections distributed by ESA require submission of a Project Proposal. These collections are typically for Third Party Missions when the data provider can only offer a limited amount of data.

How to access Earth observation data distributed by ESA - Fast Registration

Researchers can quickly obtain datasets from ESA’s Third Party Missions and Heritage Missions on a free basis, by using the Fast Registration mechanism.

How do I access the ESA Third Party Mission (TPM) data?

Access ESA Third Party Mission (TPM) data by applying with 'Fast Registration with Immediate Access' or 'Fast Registration with Approval.
