Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (NASA)

Two satellites, one analysis-ready surface reflectance stream — 30m, ~2–3 day revisit, back to 2013.

What this is

NASA's Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) cross-calibrates Landsat 8/9 and Sentinel-2 into a single surface-reflectance product at 30m with ~2–3 day revisit globally. Available as COG via STAC on Earthdata and Planetary Computer, 2013–present. No restrictions (Earthdata login required).

Why we surface it

The standard for field-scale time-series analysis. Two missions harmonized into one stream means fewer cloud gaps and a consistent record across the Sentinel era. NDVI, EVI, crop-detection — this is the backbone.

What you can do with it

Shown for commercial use. Personal, research, and nonprofit use is often more permissive — switch the verdict lens on the catalog.

This decoder is a starting point, not legal advice. For commercial deployment, run the actual license terms past someone who reads them for a living.
