NASA Earth Exchange (NEX)
NEX is a collaborative supercomputing and data analytics platform that improves the availability of Earth science data from NASA missions and other sources, models, analysis tools and research results through a centralized environment that fosters knowledge sharing, collaboration, and innovation.
About NEX
NEX combines state-of-the-art supercomputing, Earth system modeling, and NASA remote sensing data feeds to deliver a work environment for exploring and analyzing terabyte- to petabyte-scale datasets covering large regions, continents or the globe. By providing data, software, and high-end computing power together, NEX reduces the need for redundant efforts in downloading data, developing pre-processing software tools, and expanding local compute infrastructures, while accelerating fundamental research, developing new applications, and reducing project costs.

Data Products and Infrastructure
NEX uses the state-of-the-art supercomputing facility at NASA Ames Research Center’s Advanced Supercomputing (NAS). Prospective users funded by NASA may request access to the computing facility used by NEX at no additional cost.

Accessing NEX
If you have an investigation that involves large regional or global extents requiring “big data” (and may also include compute intensive processes) you may take advantage of NEX resources.
