PlanetScope Archive
See the changes over time for your area of interest (AOI), anywhere in the world, in stunning detail at a resolution of just 3 metres. PlanetScope multispectral imagery is widely used in applications involving forest monitoring, detecting changes in urban and peri-urban environments, and predicting crop yields.
Specify the number of images you need for your AOI, as well as the archive date range. You can upload the downloaded images to the analysis software of your choice. Note any special requests in the 'Remarks' field in the Request Quote section, such as frequency, angle of incidence, and cloud coverage.
Please note the minimum order of €4,500.00.

FAQs
The PlanetScope L1 Basic Scene product is a Scaled Top of Atmosphere Radiance (at sensor) and sensor corrected product, without correction for any geometric distortions inherent in the imaging processes and is not mapped to a cartographic projection. The imagery data is accompanied by Rational Polynomial Coefficients (RPCs) to enable orthorectification by the user. This kind of product is designed for users with advanced image processing and geometric correction capabilities.
The PlanetScope L3 Ortho Scene product is radiometrically-, sensor- and geometrically- corrected and is projected to a cartographic map projection. The geometric correction uses fine Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) with a post spacing of between 30 and 90 meters.
Product components that are provided in a L1 PlanetScope image order are:
