Overview of Services
NGDC maintains an archive of all data recorded on DMSP satellites as relayed to NGDC by Air Force Weather Agency.
The archive contains OLS (fine), T, T2, IES, J4, M data.
Customers can obtain raw data from the sensors, download some standard products from the
DMSP Data Download Web Site, access data via online maps & web services (such as WMS and WCS), as well as order
custom products for nighttime lights, fires and non standard data requests.
Finding data:
Use the NGDC online browse system called SPIDR to find OLS data. (VIS and TIR files)
The url to Spidr is: http://spidr.ngdc.noaa.gov/spidr/
For data availabilty of each satellite:
See the following link for date range of each satelite for DMSP sensors.

Ordering Data
- Total Cost of delivered data is the sum of the following:
- Cost of Data
- Cost of Media (if any)
- Shipping Fee (if any)
- Check, money order or credit card (AmericanExpress, VISA, MasterCard) payments are accepted. Bank transfers by special arrangement.
NGDC requires receipt of payment before processing orders.
- Due to personnel constraints, orders will be completed as time and resources allow.
Cost of DMSP Data

(if applicable) | Cost of each additional Orbit
(if applicable) |
| Single Orbit - 44 MB each | $16 for the first orbit | $5 each additional orbit |
| Subset of Single Orbit | $16 for the first orbit | $5 each additional orbit |
| Geolocated Data | $43 per image (visible and thermal band files) | NA |
| Subset of pre-existing Geolocated Data | $26 per image (visible and thermal band files) | NA |

Shipping
Please provide the following information when you make a order:
- What dates do you need data for?
- What are the latitude and longitude of the area you are interested in?
- Do you need Day or Night data?
- Which satellites do you want? Date ranges of F10 - F15
- Do you want to substitute another satellite if no data is found?
- Do you need the OLS full orbit? Or sub-orbited?
A full orbit begins at the equator, then makes one vertical revolution of the earth and
ends when it reaches the equator. A suborbit is only a portion of the full orbit.
Example of a sub/full orbit
- Do you need the OLS data Geolocated? (VIS and TIR files)
With geolocated data, the user can obtain a latitude and longitude for any point on an image.
- What file format you would like: (binary, tiff, png, jpeg)
- If image format, would you like additional information added to the
Image? (i.e. coastlines, country boundaries, state boundaries)
- Select the output media: (See the table above for prices)
To order data email:
Thank you for your interest in our data.
