About NASA

Federal Space and Research Agency · United States / Global

NASA is the US federal space agency whose Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) produces GISTEMP, a global surface temperature analysis extending from 1880 to the present used for tracking long-term climate change. NASA also operates the POWER (Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources) project, which provides satellite-derived meteorological data—including solar irradiance, wind speed, and temperature—at any global location for renewable energy and building energy applications. Both datasets are freely accessible via open APIs.
