Solar Weather Ceasing Imaging Activities on SkySat & SuperDove Fleets

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued an alert for an M5.7 X-ray flare (see swpc.noaa.gov/news/r2-mod-hf-radio-blackout-and-s2-mod-solar-radiation-storm-17-july-2023 for details). This solar flare has resulted in radiation levels that have exceeded our operational thresholds for imaging operations across Planet's satellite fleets. Planet plans for events like this and we have implemented our safety procedures to ensure our satellite fleet is not impacted. During this time imaging will not be available. Like any space weather event, the length can be unpredictable so we will be posting updates to Planet's Status Page when available (at a minimum every 24hr) until this is resolved.

Feedabck for Tree Bloom Exercise

Hello - I have run through the exercise and wanted to give back some feedback. Overall, great tutorial - and I’m so glad to see instructions to using Planet imagery for more detailed analysis!A few thoughts: Is there a reason why step 3 under "Preparing Data for Analysis" utilises geojson.io, instead of the native ArcGIS Pro tools to create the polygon (especially because it is used later in the classification exercise step 1)? When a ArcGIS Pro Project is created, a File Geodatabase (.gdb) with the name of the Pro project is also created that could be used from the start without having to venture out to another program. Users could right click on the "Databases" in the Catalog pane and create a new layer - then draw using the edit tools. Users could use the Locate tool to find the same location to zoom in their map interface to draw. By doing this (starting by creating a feature class instead of shapefile in geojson.io) it would cut out step 10, requiring them to export into a featur

I go hiking 3-4 times a week, as I am fortunate to live near some nice hilly landscapes in Southern California. This image is one that I took along my usual route. I love this time to connect to nature and I enjoy listening to audiobooks while I hike. Idil Gumus: This picture was taken during the pandemic three years ago. The only thing that I could do was going for a walk or to the supermarket at that time. I created this corner to feel the peacefulness of nature.
