Terra ASTER Mission Preservation Documents
This page contains Preservation Content Specification (PCS) components as mandated by the NASA Earth Science Data Preservation Content Specification (423-SPEC-001). The Terra ASTER data preservation documentation is accessible to the public. The LP DAAC continues to support ASTER Levels 1 to 3 data products and documentation.
Notice to Preservation Archive Users: Data preservation activities are in progress; therefore, the statuses of activities relevant to preservation content specification are fluid.
