The L3Harris geospatial archive of lower resolution satellite imagery is a great option for those needing imagery of large areas, such as states, provinces, or entire countries. These sensors offer complete world coverage at a low cost per square kilometer, making it an excellent choice for those needing a simple base map. While this imagery is a bit too coarse to identify individual buildings, one can still generally see changes in landscapes, roads, and bodies of water.

TerraColor NextGen Imagery
TerraColor NextGen is the next generation of the TerraColor product line using new satellite imagery. NextGen products are mosaics of multiple pan-sharpened Landsat 8 scenes that have been carefully processed and balanced to provide high quality color and contrast. Recent imagery can be critically important for many applications, and NextGen provides an up-to-date medium resolution base map of several areas. NextGen also provides a perfect complement to high resolution imagery by providing a consistent, regional view of larger areas.

TerraColor NextGen products can currently be purchased by 1x1 degree tiles, individual countries, or region bundles. When purchasing a country, the imagery is clipped to the country border with a buffer extending into the neighboring countries to provide a complete view.
