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?
  • Browse the EOWEB GeoPortal catalogue to search archived products acquired over the Neustrelitz footprint.
  • Worldwide data (outside the Neustrelitz footprint) are not listed in the catalogue; availability can be requested through GAF user support. 
  • 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.

Note:

  • Whether system corrected or radiometrically corrected products are available depends on sensor and processing centre
  • For PAN and LISS-III ortho corrected: If unavailable, user has to supply ground control information and DEM in suitable quality
  • For WiFS ortho corrected: service based on in house available ground control information and DEM.

The products are available as part of the GAF Imagery products from the Indian missions: IRS-1C, IRS-1D, CartoSat-1 (IRS-P5), ResourceSat-1 (IRS-P6) and ResourceSat-2 (IRS-R2) missions.

IRS-1C/1D Full archive collection has worldwide coverage: data can be requested by contacting GAF user support to check the readiness since no catalogue is not available. All details about the data provision, data access conditions and quota assignment procedure are described in the Terms of Applicability.

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 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.

How to guide for submitting Project Proposals

This detailed guide will show step-by-step how to submit a project proposal, in order to request access to restrained datasets, usually on-demand Third Party Mission products, distributed by ESA.
