Ordering Information for GLCTS Products
Unenhanced Landsat TM data can be distributed to U.S. Government and its Affiliated
Users (USGAU) by the National Satellite Land Remote Sensing Data Archive (NSLRSDA), EROS
Data Center (EDC) provided the data are to be used for noncommercial purposes only.
All users requesting/receiving data from the NSLRSDA must review and acknowledge their
understanding of the definitions of USGAU and affirm their eligibility as a member of
the USGAU by signing an USGAU Certification Form with the U.S. Geological Survey, EDC.
- A signed hardcopy form on file at the LP DAAC is required under the terms of the
EOSAT USGAU agreement
- If you have previously ordered data and have an USAGU form on file, DAAC User Services
will verify that information (i.e. - contract, CRADA, grant, etc. is still valid and
process your order). You will still need to fill out the order form as it tells us who you
are and what product you are requesting
U.S. Government and its affiliated users includes: U.S. Government agencies; U.S.
Government contractors; researchers involved with the United States Global Change Research
Program and its international counterpart programs; and other researchers and
international entities, that have signed with the United States Government a cooperative
agreement involving the use of Landsat data for noncommercial purposes.
The term "noncommercial purposes" refers to those activities
undertaken by individuals or entities on the condition, upon receipt of the unenhanced
data, that:
- such data shall not be used in connection with any bid for a commercial contract,
development of a commercial product, or any other non-United States Government activity
that is expected, or has the potential, to be profit making.
- the results of such activities are disclosed in a timely and complete fashion in the
open technical literature or other method of public release, except when such disclosure
by the United States Government or its contractors would adversely affect the national
security or foreign policy of the United States or violate a provision of law or
regulations: and
- such data shall not be distributed in competition with the unenhanced data provided by
the Landsat contractor.
