Medium Resolution Satellite Imagery

The Leading Provider of Medium Resolution Satellite Imagery

L3Harris offers a large archive of satellite imagery collected between 1.5 meter–5 meter resolution, from providers such as Planet and Airbus. Each provider of these resolutions has multiple sensors in each satellite constellation, and each satellite collects large areas within one image. As such, one has the best chance of finding recent data of his or her area from a satellite in this product suite. A massive archive with full world coverage exists as well, dating back to the early 2000s.

SENSORS AND SATELLITES

SPOT 6 & SPOT 7 from Airbus Defence and Space

SPOT-6, launched in September 2012, is a high resolution optical Earth observation satellite delivering, 1.5m resolution image products. In 2014, twin satellite SPOT-7 was released in to orbit with the same capabilities. SPOT-6 and SPOT-7 will ensure service continuity begin with the SPOT-4 and SPOT-5 satellites, which have been operating since 1998. With a low price and extremely large catalog, this is a great option for those needing imagery for larger area sizes, especially those doing change detection and environmental analyses.

The images acquired by Airbus Defense and Space SPOT Earth observation satellites are an unparalleled source of information for studying, monitoring, forecasting and managing natural resources and human activities on our planet.

RapidEye from Planet Labs

The RapidEye sensors is a constellation of five identical sensors that capture imagery at 5m resolution, all of which were launched in August 2008. This sensor captures five different multispectral bands, being red, green, blue, red edge, and near-infrared, making it a great option for those doing environmental and agricultural mapping, or measuring crop health. With the ability to capture large areas at once, as well as having five different sensors constantly collecting new data, this is also a great source for time series data, and has one of the largest archives for high – medium resolution sensors.

PlanetScope from Planet®

With 120 satellites currently in orbit, the always-on PlanetScope constellation makes up history’s largest commercial fleet of satellites, collecting daily 3-5 meter resolution imagery of Earth’s entire landmass. This sensor captures four different multispectral bands, being red, green, blue, and near-infrared. The 3-5 meter resolution is enough to analyze and track changes in vegetation and forest cover, flood activity and large construction projects. The PlanetScope sensors collect and unrivaled 200,000,000 square kilometers of imagery every day, affording users almost daily looks at their sites of interest. With this unprecedented dataset, our customers are finding powerful ways to use the platform for good, creating commercial value and increasing understanding of our planet.
