The National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) Commercial Smallsat Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program was established to identify, evaluate, and acquire data from commercial satellite companies that support and complement NASA’s Earth sciences missions and research goals. Since becoming a sustained program in 2020, CSDA has been developing a data system to provide scalable, efficient, continuous, and repeatable data management processes for all commercial data acquired by NASA. This includes providing access to commercial data to approved science investigators through NASA developed and vendor operated interfaces. As the commercial data user community and volume of data acquired by CSDA has grown, the team managing these data has adapted technologies and services to better address the data and information search, discovery, and access needs of the science user community. This presentation will provide an overview of CSDA Program data system activities including data availability, development of CSDA user interfaces, challenges in managing large-volume diverse datasets, and long-term data preservation activities to retain data for scientific reproducibility.
