GIBS Web Map Tile Service (WMTS)

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: October 29, 2026 at 10:50 PM | Dataset Last Updated: March 31, 2025
The WMTS implementation standard provides a standards-based solution for serviing digital maps using predefined image tiles. Through the constructs of the specification, a WMTS service advertises imagery layers (e.g. imagery product) and defines the coordinate reference system, scale, and tiling grid available for access.
