Get order or download permissions for additional data collections from the German Satellite Data Archive (D-SDA)

Data collections of the German Satellite Data Archive presented within our catalogue frontends EOWEB GeoPortal (EGP) , EOC Geoservice and EOC Download Service underlie different categories of access protection.
Whenever you run a catalogue query in EGP, green dots in the results’ table indicate that you currently have the respective rights to order this datasets, while red dots indicate that you currently are lacking privileges for the respective dataset.
Here you find a brief overview about our categories of access protection and the steps you can undertake to gain access privileges to additional data collections.

a) Data collections orderable in EGP without specific restrictions

Those are the data collections you can order in EGP with an online self-registered account.
Note: EGP offers a “guest” login as well. This enables you to browse datasets only, but you cannot order any dataset.

b) Data collections downloadable in the EOC Download Service with or without simple online self-registration

Those are the data collections you can download in the EOC Download Service with an online self-registered account or even without any registration.

c) Data collections orderable in EGP under specific license terms within the user permission self-management

Those are collections which have specific license conditions you explicitly have to agree to, but have no further specific access protection. You can gain access to those datasets by visiting the permission management of our user management system.

d) Data collections related to quotas and a specific scientific proposal process

For the following D-SDA data collections you can only get order privileges, after having passed a scientific proposal process:

• DESIS
• Please find information about the proposal process on the DESIS Data Access page.
• In case of further questions you can contact the DESIS Science Team at desis-scientific[at]dlr.de .
• EnMAP
• Please find overall information about the EnMAP data access and user registration process on the EnMAP Data Access page.
• You can register an EnMAP data user at the EnMAP Instrument Planning portal.
• For detailed information about the types of EnMAP data users you can obtain and as far this is related to a scientific proposal process or not, please consult the EnMAP Instrument Planning User Manual .
• In case of further questions you can contact the EnMAP Application Support Team at ENMAP_APPLICATION_SP [at] dlr.de.
• TanDEM-X
• Only the access to the TanDEM-X 90m DEM is free upon online self registration. To access any other TanDEM-X collection you need to pass a proposal process and obtain a quota first.
• Please find information about the proposal process on the TanDEM-X Science page.
• In case of further questions you can contact the TanDEM-X Science Team at tandemx-science [at] dlr.de.
• TerraSAR-X
• Only the access to the TerraSAR-X Supersites dataset is possible without proposal process. Users with an existing EGP profile can add TerraSAR-X Supersites download permissions to it.
  Users without a EGP profile can access the TerraSAR-X Supersites download service after free online registration. To access any other TanDEM-X collection you need to pass a proposal process and obtain a quota first.
• Please find information about the proposal process on the TerraSAR Science Service System page.
• In case of further questions you can contact the TerraSAR-X Science Team at tsx.science[at]dlr.de.

e) Data collections with external order interfaces (EGP as catalogue only)

• Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS)
• There is some possibility of free-of-charge access to IRS data for scientific users .
• Further, Indian remote sensing satellite (IRS) data as shown in the EGP catalogue, as well as worldwide IRS data, can be ordered from GAF AG.
• For further questions on the ordering process, please contact GAF customer support directly.
• Space Weather Application Centre Ionosphere (SWACI)
• Space Weather Application Centre Ionosphere (SWACI) data can be obtained via the Monitoring and Prediction Center portal (IMPC) .

f) Data collections currently not orderable (EGP as catalogue only)

The access conditions for this collections are currently under discussion. For further information on the actual status, please contact the D-SDA librarian .

• Landsat-8 collections
• Contains selected paths over Europe from period 10/2013 – 10/2015
