Leading cloud-based data processing, teaching, and research collaboration
Remote sensing data is a powerful tool for observing and understanding Earth processes. But finding the right data can seem overwhelming and using the data may seem too complicated. At ASF we recognize this, and our teams work continuously to streamline data discovery and processing for a broad range of users all over the world.
Explore our data processing tools and services
ASF has been the leader in the development of tools that make SAR data accessible to a worldwide community of scientists and educators. Our dedicated team of experts and developers are here to help harness the enormous potential of SAR remote sensing in observing earth processes and changes over time. Learn more by clicking each of the tabs or by playing some of the videos to get started with SAR at ASF.

Samples of ASF products, and SAR in action
Find SAR data, fast
ASF has developed several tools to make it easy find SAR data and to enable to freely process higher level SAR products such as InSAR and AutoRIFT products with ASF’s HyP3 service.
Vertex
A graphical search interface for finding SAR data.
asf_search
A Python package for performing searches of the ASF catalog.
What's all the HyP3?
With just a few clicks, transform raw Sentinel-1 SAR satellite data into products ready for mapping, visualization, and discovery.
HyP3 On-Demand Service
HyP3 is ASF’s flagship on-demand service that turns your Sentinel-1 SAR data into analysis-ready products. By handling complex processing in the cloud, HyP3 Basic eliminates the need for specialized software or powerful computers, making SAR easier to access, explore, and utilize. With just a few clicks, you can transform raw satellite data into products ready for mapping, visualization, and discovery.

Benefits of HyP3+
ASF provides HyP3+ as a convenient option if your allotment of free credits is insufficient for your processing needs. Benefits include:
- No credit limits: process as much data as you need
- Faster results: smaller queues mean your products are ready sooner
- Longer access: keep your downloads for 30 days instead of 14
- Pay-as-You-Go: buy credits with a credit card when you need extra processing power
- Cloud-Based Access: all products are stored in an AWS S3 bucket, ready for cloud-based analysis

- Free fast data transfer to users’ storage from ASF Amazon Web Services (AWS) archives
- Identical, fully configured, persistent computing software and hardware environments that are shared by multiple users
- An open library of data recipes
- A cloud-hosted JupyterHub SSO platform in AWS and a JupyterLab development environment, with authenticated accounts and persistent storage
- A workspace perfect for scientific collaboration requiring
- Large datasets
- Complicated development environments
- Repeatability
- Custom OSL deployments for research teams and classes
- Deployments are tailored to your use-case and offer the exact computational resources required to prevent unnecessary AWS costs
- An ideal environment for class settings where student computing resources may be limited
Get started and join the OSL Workflow
Need more power? ASF offers custom OSL deployments
Custom OpenScienceLab deployments you own
The OpenScienceLab team provides custom JupyterHub deployments based on our flagship OpenSARLab deployment. This service is ideal for researchers who require additional compute resources, have specific needs for their environment, and for teaching students in a workshop or classroom setting.
Custom deployments can be configured with any combination of computational resources. We can help estimate resource requirements and will work with you to minimize AWS costs as usage data becomes available.
Take full ownership of your OSL deployment. Once we’ve ensured that your deployment will meet your operational requirements, you are free to take your instance of OSL and use it however you wish, for example, in the development of non-open source tools or to host in your own AWS account.
