Want to upgrade to paid research account

I am a professor at a US university with a free “Basic” education and research account. I’m working now on a larger project for which Planet’s imagery would be extraordinarily useful. I’d like to get a quote to upgrade to a paid “Research” account.Over the past two weeks I’ve tried (twice) submitting the Sales Contact form (https://www.planet.com/contact-sales/), and then also tried contacting Support (https://support.planet.com/hc/en-us/requests/new). So far there’s no reply, as far as I can tell (I’ve checked my email spam filter). I realize that this would be a small account and thus a low priority for sales. I’m trying to plan my work schedule for the next month and it would help to get some reply, even if it's a note saying “We’re busy, please get back to us in January” or whatever.Thanks for any advice.

Global Basemap XYZ Queries

I am working on a computer vision personal project and need satellite imagery for my training/validation data. Currently I am working with some mildly-deprecated source code to fetch from Bing’s map tile service. I have some code that I wrote to extract all the tiles which cover a specified region given a lat/lon bounding box and range of zoom levels. With Bing, I just need to construct a quad-key for each desired XYZ and then throw a GET request to a URL using that quad-key and boom I’ve got the tile. As I said this Bing tool is being deprecated and I am trying to decide between using Azure Maps or Planet. Ideally I would like to integrate this tooling alongside my existing process so I can run my model on datasets from various sources.I could very much be wrong here but I believe with Planet I could achieve an extremely similar workflow to what I currently have by leveraging the Global Basemap. The issue that I am running into is that I appear to not have any mosaics added to my acco

Best workflow for inspecting 14,000 plots (Costa Rica, 4 dates) with 5 interpreters in QGIS/Collect Earth — tile streaming or Visual Quad download?

Hi everyone,Project snapshot AOI: Costa Rica (~51,000 km²) Plots: 14,000 (1 ha each) Dates to inspect: Jan-2021, Jan-2022, Jan-2023, Jan-2024 Tools: Collect Earth Desktop + QGIS Team: 5 interpreters working in parallel Current plan: Insights Platform – Basic (70 k PU/month, 500 PU/min) Issue With Visual-tile streaming (1 PU/tile) we exhausted the quota in a week. Usage dashboard has shown 0 PU and only 9 requests for several days (possible burst-triggered block). We need to restart work and pick a workflow that won’t hit the limit again. Options I’m considering Stay with streaming but upgrade temporarily (Enterprise S or L) and add a caching proxy. Download all Visual Quads (Basemap Global) and serve them via MapProxy/GeoServer; work offline. Use NICFI quads (1,500 PU/quad) only in forest zones and Basemap Global elsewhere. Push quads to GEE and let interpreters view via Earth Engine. Key questions What workflow do others use when multiple analysts review large visu
