Open satellite data
Earth observation data products recorded with an open access model: 72 of 87 data products, 4 with a STAC (SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog) API endpoint. Listed alphabetically. Each row repeats what the product page records; a blank cell means the field is not recorded. Licence terms differ by product, so read the licence column before reuse.
