NASA has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) through a Space Act Agreement to make a selection of high-value scientific datasets open and available to the community. These analytics-optimized data products reduce the need for preprocessing and allow researchers to conduct their studies more quickly and easily.

The selected data span all five of the NASA Science Mission Directorate’s divisions: astrophysics, biological and physical sciences, Earth science, heliophysics, and planetary science. These offerings include infrared astronomical imaging, results from reduced-gravity physics experiments, biological data from spaceflown mice, sea surface temperature data, comet observations, and Mars spectrometry data. Many of the datasets are suitable for training AI models for further scientific discovery.

The Open Data Registry Project is part of the NASA SMD’s ongoing commitment to making science data as free and open as possible. Explore data products in the Registry of Open Data here.
