When Will Calibrated NISAR Data Products Be Available?

When are the calibrated NISAR data products expected to become publicly available?

I am planning to submit a presentation on the start of NISAR services to the Autumn Conference of the Japanese Society of Remote Sensing. The abstract submission deadline is at the end of September, so it would be very helpful if the calibrated products could be released by the end of July. Is that timeline currently expected?

Calibrated NISAR products will become available in July 2026, and processing of newly acquired data will continue from this date. Processing the backlog of data acquired from September 23, 2025, up to the date of the July release will then begin, and these Level 0-3 products will be released before the end of 2026. All Level 0-3 products will be available for download from ASF.

To stay up-to-date on the status of product releases, check the section in the NISAR Data User Guide titled Data Release Timeline.

Thank you for your reply.

I am looking forward to accessing the calibrated NISAR products next month.

One quick question: will the calibrated data acquired from July 2026 onward be released globally for all observed land areas, or only for certain regions?

Thank you.

It will be a global release. That is, it will include complete, global coverage for all processing levels.
