abstract: Providing easy, portable access to NASA 'EarthData' products through the
  use of bearer tokens. Much of NASA's public data catalogs hosted and maintained
  by its 12 Distributed Active Archive Centers ('DAACs') are now made available on
  the Amazon Web Services 'S3' storage. However, accessing this data through the standard
  'S3' API is restricted to only to compute resources running inside 'us-west-2' Data
  Center in Portland, Oregon, which allows NASA to avoid being charged data egress
  rates. This package provides public access to the data from any networked device
  by using the 'EarthData' login application programming interface (API), <https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/data/earthdata-login>,
  providing convenient authentication and access to cloud-hosted NASA 'EarthData'
  products. This makes access to a wide range of earth observation data from any location
  straight forward and compatible with R packages that are widely used with cloud
  native earth observation data (such as 'terra', 'sf', etc.)
