By: LP DAAC

Reminder! NASA LP DAAC data products will be removed from USGS’s EarthExplorer and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) API and will no longer be distributed from these platforms on August 30, 2024. Newly ingested LP DAAC data will stop being added to EarthExplorer on August 21, 2024. Users that currently download LP DAAC holdings in EarthExplorer are encouraged to familiarize themselves with NASA’s Earthdata Search and AppEEARS user interfaces. For those who use M2M for programmatic search and access, users can explore the AppEEARS API, the CMR API, the earthaccess package for Python users, and the earthdatalogin library for R users in preparation for the withdrawal. A list of products that will be affected can be found on the LP DAAC website.

If you currently use EarthExplorer to access NASA LP DAAC products and encounter any issues with updating your access workflows to use NASA’s Earthdata Search, please contact us at lpdaac@usgs.gov.
