VIIRS/JPSS1 Raw Radiances in Counts 6-Min L1A Swath NRT

Published by NASA/GSFC/EOS/ESDIS/LANCEMODIS;NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/GCDC/OB.DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: July 14, 2026 at 10:26 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 23, 2026
The Near Real Time (NRT) JPSS1/VIIRS Raw Radiances in Counts 6-Min L1A Swath (VJ101_NRT) data product contains the unpacked, raw VIIRS science, calibration and engineering data; the extracted ephemeris and attitude data from the spacecraft diary packets; and the raw ADCS and bus-critical spacecraft telemetry data from those packets, with a few critical fields extracted.
