GEDI - Timeline of Availability for New Data
Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2025 2:08 pm America/New_York
Hi! I understand that in 2023, the GEDI instrument was temporarily shut down but then reinstated in its port on the ISS in mid-2024:

I was wondering when new data from the instrument will start being available online for science users? Even if the data themselves cannot be available for a while because of recalibration needs, is there anywhere we can check to see where and when areas have been imaged since the sensor was turned back on?
We have a few aerial LiDAR campaigns (one which already occurred in late 2024, one planned) and we'd love to know whether any of our study areas overlap with areas of recent GEDI coverage. It would also help us plan upcoming field work to have more information on the extent and areas of coverage.
Thanks!
