[Note: The USGS now offers selected Landsat 1-5 and 7 archive data at no charge!]

EarthExplorer is a tool for querying and ordering global satellite images.  Registered users have access to more features than guests do. Though not all, many datasets are available free of charge.

Through EarthExplorer you can also search, download, and order U.S. Geological Survey and NASA products from the following datasets:

  • Aerial Photographs (mostly of U.S.)
  • Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR)
  • Digital Elevation
  • Digital Line Graphs (U.S. only)
  • Digital Maps (DRG, U.S. only)
  • Earth Observing 1 (EO-1)
  • Global Land Survey
  • Landsat Archive

You can also search and review products from the Radar, SPOT, and USGS Commercial datasets.

Consult the tutorial to search for data. Check also another tool, GLOVIS (Global Visualization Viewer.)
