NASA data for high energy astrophysics (generally x-ray and gamma-ray domains) is made available here by the High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center. The HEASARC hosts the full data archives of over 30 different missions spanning 50 years. The data archive for each mission will contain a range of data types from spacecraft housekeeping and raw photon event list data up to high level science-ready products such as images, light curves (time series), and energy spectra.
This is a relatively modest total data volume but contains significant complexity and heterogeneity among the different missions. Data provided here are stored in the Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) format common in astronomy. Higher level products are further defined to be consistent between missions following data model standards agreed by the community and maintained by the HEASARC. Analysis of these data may require software also provided by HEASARC, the HEASoft package, consisting of tools generic to all FITS data, generic to all HEASARC-compliant data, and/or specific to individual missions as appropriate. Some missions provide standard science-ready data products, while others provide low-level data types and software to generate science-ready products from them. See the links for each mission for more information on how to use the data.
The HEASARC Website also has archive browsing tools where you can query for observations corresponding to temporal and spatial constraints among others. These tools will ultimately point to files located on the archive by giving a URL beginning with the path https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/. The data that are provided in the ODR follow the same structure, so when our tools give an https access URL, a user can simply swap in s3://nasa-heasarc/ for the first part of that URL and get a cloud URI. Note also that some selections have been made to what has been copied to the ODR, while the HEASARC archive itself remains the definitive and legacy source for the complete datasets.

NASA data for cosmic microwave background (CMB) analysis is made available here by the Legacy Archive for Microwave Background Data Analysis (LAMBDA), which is a part of NASA's High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC). LAMBDA hosts the data archives of over 30 different CMB missions spanning 30+ years. The data archive for each mission may contain a range of data types from low-level time-ordered data to high level science-ready products such as sky maps and angular power spectra. Also provided in consistent formats are a variety of full sky maps in complementary ...

The SOHO/LASCO data set (prepared for the challenge hosted in Topcoder) provided here comes from the instrument’s C2 telescope and comprises approximately 36,000 images spread across 2,950 comet observations. The human eye is a very sensitive tool and it is the only tool currently used to reliably detect new comets in SOHO data - particularly comets that are very faint and embedded in the instrument background noise. Bright comets can be easily detected in the LASCO data by relatively simple automated algorithms, but the majority of comets observed by the instrument are extremely faint, noise-...

This platform is maintained by CRAAM (Mackenzie Radio Astronomy and Astrophysics Center), a research center operated by UPM (Mackenzie Presbyterian University) and INPE (National Institute for Space Research), to provide public and free access for researchers, students, and the interested public to VLF (Very Low Frequency) data from CRAAM's antenna systems. Amazon AWS supports all data stored through the AWS Open Data Program. Very Low Frequency (VLF) signals can be used for navigation services, communication with submarines, and are a powerful tool to study the low-altitude Earth's io...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the world's next flagship infrared observatory led by NASA with its partners, ESA (European Space Agency), and CSA (Canadian Space Agency). JWST offers scientists the opportunity to observe galaxy evolution, the formation of stars and planets, exoplanetary systems, and our own solar system, in ways never before possible.

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a multi-year survey that has discovered exoplanets in orbit around bright stars across the entire sky using high-precision photometry. The survey also enables a wide variety of stellar astrophysics, solar system science, and extragalactic variability studies. More information about TESS is available at MAST and the TESS Science Support Center.

The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) was a NASA Medium Explorer satellite in low-Earth orbit that conducted an all-sky astronomical imaging survey over four infrared bands from 2010-2011. The 3-Band Cryo Data Release contains 3.4, 4.6 and 12 micron (W1, W2, W3) imaging data that were acquired between 6 Aug and 29 Sept 2010 while the detectors were cooled by the inner cryogen tank following the exhaustion of the outer tank.

These data correspond to the International LOFAR Telescope observations of the sky field ELAIS-N1 (16:10:01 +54:30:36) during the cycle 2 of observations. There are 11 runs of about 8 hours each plus the corresponding observation of the calibration targets before and after the target field. The data are measurement sets (MS) containing the cross-correlated data and metadata divided in 371 frequency sub-bands per target centred at ~150 MHz.

The Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) is a NASA Medium-class Explorer satellite in low-Earth orbit conducting an all-sky astronomical imaging survey over two infrared bands. The NEOWISE Reactivation mission began in 2013 when the original WISE satellite was brought out of hibernation to learn more about the population of near-Earth objects and comets that could pose an impact hazard to the Earth. The data is also used to study a wide range of astrophysical phenomena in the time domain including brown dwarfs, supernovae and active galactic nuclei.

unWISE is a reprocessing of Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) data which preserves the native angular resolution and is optimized for forced photometry. WISE was a NASA satellite producing all-sky imaging in four infrared bands centered at 3.4, 4.6, 12 and 22 microns (W1, W2, W3, and W4) starting in 2010 until the coolant was exhausted in 2011. It was reactivated in 2013 as NEOWISE and continued imaging in W1 and W2 until 2024.

The data are from observations with the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) which is a Square Kilometer Array (SKA) precursor in Western Australia. This particular dataset is from the Epoch of Reionization project which is a key science driver of the SKA. Nearly 2PB of such observations have been recorded to date, this is a small subset of that which has been exported from the MWA data archive in Perth and made available to the public on AWS. The data were taken to detect signatures of the first stars and galaxies forming and the effect of these early stars and galaxies on the evolution of the u...

The Galaxy Evolution Explorer Satellite (GALEX) was a NASA mission led by the California Institute of Technology, whose primary goal was to investigate how star formation in galaxies evolved from the early universe up to the present. GALEX used microchannel plate detectors to obtain direct images in the near-UV (NUV) and far-UV (FUV), and a grism to disperse light for low resolution spectroscopy.
