# Open Data

> Browse the public satellite datasets available in Tilebox, ready to use for prototyping and building your applications before your own data is available.

On top of access to your own, private datasets, Tilebox provides access to a growing number of public datasets.
These datasets are available to all users of Tilebox and are a great way to get started and prototype your applications even before data from your own satellites is available.

<Note>
  If there is a dataset you would like to see in Tilebox, you can request it in the [Console open data page](https://console.tilebox.com/datasets/open-data).
</Note>

## Accessing Open Data through Tilebox

Accessing open datasets in Tilebox is straightforward and as easy as accessing your own datasets. Tilebox has already ingested the required metadata for each available dataset, so you can query, preview, and download the data seamlessly. This setup enables you to leverage performance optimizations and simplifies your workflows.

By using the [datasets API](/datasets), you can start prototyping your applications and workflows easily.

## Available datasets

<Tip>
  The Tilebox Console contains in-depth descriptions of each dataset. Check out the [Sentinel 5P Tropomi](https://console.tilebox.com/datasets/explorer/bb394de4-b47f-4069-bc4c-6e6a2c9f0641) documentation as an example.

### Copernicus Data Space

The [Copernicus Data Space](https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/) is an open ecosystem that provides free instant access to data and services from the Copernicus Sentinel missions.

Tilebox currently supports the following datasets from the Copernicus Data Space:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Sentinel 1">
    The Sentinel-1 mission is the European Radar Observatory for the Copernicus
    joint initiative of the European Commission (EC) and the European Space
    Agency (ESA). The Sentinel-1 mission includes C-band imaging operating in
    four exclusive imaging modes with different resolution (down to 5 m) and
    coverage (up to 400 km). It provides dual polarization capability, short
    revisit times and rapid product delivery.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Sentinel 2">
    Sentinel-2 is equipped with an optical instrument payload that samples 13
    spectral bands: four bands at 10 m, six bands at 20 m and three bands at 60
    m spatial resolution.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Sentinel 3">
    Sentinel-3 is equipped with multiple instruments whose data is available in Tilebox.

    `OLCI` (Ocean and Land Color Instrument) is an optical instrument used to provide
    data continuity for ENVISAT MERIS.

    `SLSTR` (Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer) is a dual-view scanning
    temperature radiometer, which flies in low Earth orbit (800 - 830 km
    altitude).

    The `SRAL` (SAR Radar Altimeter) instrument comprises one nadir-looking antenna,
    and a central electronic chain composed of a Digital Processing Unit (DPU)
    and a Radio Frequency Unit (RFU).

    OLCI, in conjunction with the SLSTR instrument, provides the `SYN` products,
    providing continuity with SPOT VEGETATION.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Sentinel 5P">
    The primary goal of `TROPOMI` is to provide daily global observations of key
    atmospheric constituents related to monitoring and forecasting air quality,
    the ozone layer, and climate change.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Sentinel 6">
    The Sentinel-6 mission represents a groundbreaking advancement in Earth observation,
    providing invaluable insights for scientists, environmentalists, and stakeholders worldwide.
    At the heart of this mission is the cutting-edge radar altimeter instrument, designed to
    measure sea surface height and monitor key oceanographic parameters with unparalleled accuracy.
    The Sentinel-6 satellite collects precise data by employing advanced radar technology,
    allowing for a comprehensive understanding of sea level variations, ocean currents, and climate patterns.

### United States Geological Survey (USGS)

The [United States Geological Survey (USGS)](https://www.usgs.gov/) provides a wide range of Earth observation data, including [Landsat](https://science.nasa.gov/mission/landsat/) data, which are also available as open data through Tilebox.

</Frame>

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Landsat 1-3">
    Landsat-1/2/3 carry the Multispectral Scanner (MSS) instrument, which measures in the VIS and NIR portions of the spectrum. Its images have 79 m spatial resolution.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Landsat 4-5">
    Landsat-4/5 carry both the Multispectral Scanner (MSS) which measures in the VIS, NIR and SWIR
    portions of the spectrum in a 30m spatial resolution, and the Thematic Mapper (TM) instrument, which measures in the thermal-infrared band in a 120 m spatial resolution.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Landsat 7">
    Landsat-7 carries the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) instrument, which measures in the VIS, NIR and SWIR and thermal-infrared
    portions of the spectrum. Its images have 15-60 m spatial resolution.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Landsat 8-9">
    Landsat-8/9 are part of the long-running Landsat programme led by USGS and NASA and
    carry the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and the Thermal Infrared Sensor
    (TIRS). The Operational Land Imager (OLI), on board measures in
    the VIS, NIR and SWIR portions of the spectrum. Its images have 15 m
    panchromatic and 30 m multi-spectral spatial resolutions along a 185 km wide
    swath, covering wide areas of the Earth's landscape while providing
    high enough resolution to distinguish features like urban centres, farms,
    forests and other land uses. The entire Earth falls within view once every
    16 days due to Landsat-8/9's near-polar orbit. The Thermal Infra-Red Sensor (TIRS)
    instrument on board is a thermal imager operating in pushbroom
    mode with two Infra-Red channels: 10.8 µm and 12 µm with 100 m spatial
    resolution.
