[Bug] Landsat Collection 1 data will be removed from USGS by the end of 2022

Open neteler opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

All Landsat Collection 1 data and science products will be removed from USGS data access platforms by the end of 2022. This removal includes Level-1, Level-2, Level-3, and ESPA- related products.

Source: https://www.usgs.gov/landsat-missions/news/landsat-collection-1-datasets-be-removed-end-2022

This affects the manual page as well as the Python code.

Changes needed in i.landsat (esp i.landsat.download) are deeper than only removing collection 1 products.

landsatxplote, the package on which the module is based has not changed since march 2021, meanwhile several PRs with fixes including Landsat 9 products and earthexplorer API recent changes remain un-merged there. The main dev, @yannforget, told me he won't maintain landsatxplore any longer, so unfortunately the package is kinda dead. Therefore, to actually revive the i.landsat.download module, a change to google cloud storage as in i.sentinel might be the best solution.

Volunteers?? :eyes: :eyes:

Could this be an alternative for landsatxplore? EODAG (Earth Observation Data Access Gateway):

EODAG (Earth Observation Data Access Gateway) is a command line tool and a Python package for searching and downloading remotely sensed images while offering a unified API for data access regardless of the data provider.

EODAG gives you an easy way to access products from more than 10 providers, with more than 50 different product types (Sentinel 1, Sentinel 2, Sentinel 3, Landsat, etc.) that can be searched and downloaded. [Growing list of] supported providers: astraea_eod, usgs_satapi_aws, earth_search, earth_search_gcs, sobloo, usgs, theia, peps, aws_eos, creodias, mundi, onda, ecmwf, cop_ads, cop_cds
