United States
The entire EOSDIS archive is open and free. HLS harmonizes Landsat and Sentinel-2 into analysis-ready reflectance, with vegetation indices for field-level monitoring.

Americas: the same system, your local data
European space infrastructure is global and free: Copernicus watches the whole continent and Galileo works on any multi-constellation receiver. On that base we add the open catalogs of the Americas and build the same kind of decision system that already runs in Europe.

The same system, your local data
We work on public open-data programs, independent of any private constellation, and most of them have no borders: the Sentinel satellites of Copernicus cover the Americas at the same resolution and revisit as Europe, and the data is free. Galileo, the European navigation system, works across the Americas on any multi-constellation receiver.
On that global base we add each country's local data. The value is in the software that combines the image with your sensors, your records, and the public sources of your region to answer a concrete decision in your operation. The engineering is ours; the data infrastructure is public and open.
Open sources, country by country
Every country has its own catalog. We choose the source by the physics of the problem and by its license, and each card notes the access terms of that data.
NOAA
United States
GOES-East (GOES-19) watches the whole continent every few minutes, and the GFS, GEFS, and HRRR models are served in the cloud with no account and no cost.

USGS Landsat
United States
The Landsat series is U.S. government public domain and free since 2008, with a continuous archive back to 1972: the base for five decades of land-use change analysis.
30 m · public domain
USDA
United States
The Cropland Data Layer (CDL) maps U.S. crops at 10 m every year, and IPAD/Crop Explorer publishes NDVI and reservoir levels for the Southern Cone and Mexico.
CDL 10 m yearly
INPE
Brazil
Open catalog under a CC-BY license: CBERS-4A delivers 2 m panchromatic and Amazonia-1 revisits every few days. TerraBrasilis publishes official deforestation (PRODES and DETER).

CONAE
Argentina
SAOCOM adds L-band radar, useful for soil moisture. It is not a Copernicus-style open catalog: the archive is free only over Argentina and requires registration, so we treat it that way.

INEGI and CONAGUA
Mexico
Mexico runs no national public Earth observation, so the state of the art available is the Copernicus and Landsat stack. Local data comes from INEGI (a GNSS network with free RINEX) and CONAGUA (reservoirs and a drought index).

GNSS accuracy in the Americas: what runs today
In North America, WAAS is in service; in Central and South America there isno operational civil SBAS today equivalent to EGNOS or WAAS, and EGNOS does not serve the Americas. That is why we take a different path to accuracy in the region.
Our accuracy path there is Galileo HAS: it delivers free PPP corrections with global coverage, including all of the Americas, on multi-constellation receivers. We complement it with public reference-station networks for RTK and PPK work.
OPEN REFERENCE NETWORKS
- MX · INEGI RGNA: free RINEX for centimeter post-processing.
- BR · IBGE RBMC: a network of permanent stations.
- AR · IGN RAMSAC: free reference stations.
- · Galileo HAS as a global layer with no local infrastructure.
Which solutions travel best
These make the most of the free global data and fit the water, climate, and accuracy challenges of the Americas:
Satellite-guided irrigation
Evapotranspiration and spectral indices to decide when and how much to irrigate, on open data.
Drought early warning
Soil moisture and rainfall to anticipate water stress by region and crop.
Flood risk mapping
Water extent delineation with radar, day and night, for risk and claims work.
Galileo HAS precision
Free PPP corrections with global coverage for machines and fleets.
Open data also measures the Americas
The same principle we apply in Europe works in the Americas: public data, measured from satellite, published in the open. Brazil's INPE produces the official record of Amazon deforestation, and anyone can check it on TerraBrasilis.
Do you operate in the Americas on open data?
Tell us your country and your operation. We will tell you which public sources serve you, what GNSS accuracy is realistic, and what system we build on top of them.
