* Please note on the Archive Download, the NRT data is replaced with data extracted from the standard MODIS and VIIRS active fire products as it becomes available (usually after 2-3 months). Users intending to perform scientific analysis are advised to download the standard (science quality) data.
- MODIS C6.1 is available from November 2000 (for Terra) and from July 2002 (for Aqua) to the present.
- VIIRS 375 m (S-NPP) data are currently available from 20 January 2012 to the present.
- VIIRS 375 m (NOAA-20) data are currently available from 01 January 2020 to the present.
- LANDSAT 30 m OLI (8 / 9) data are currently available from 20 June 2022 to the present.

NASA EOSDIS defines Real-Time as data that is made available within 60 minutes of satellite overpass. URT is much quicker than that. FIRMS makes URT data available in less than 60 seconds of satellite fly over for much of the US and Canada
