I am working on a project where I am using satellite imagery to get updates on a basin in Texas. What is the best satellite/service to use in order to get the most clear images returned? I have an Enterprise L Account with Planet. What API should I be using to get the images? What is the best way to make sure I get the most clear images. Anytime it is a bit too zoomed in the images are basically pixels.

Hey @it0to 

For the highest spatial resolution you're going to want to use SkySat (here is some info):  https://www.planet.com/products/high-resolution-satellite-imagery/

I would advise checking out Planet University, specifically the Intro to Planet Explorer course (for ordering images via browser) or see Orders API Documentation on the Developer’s Center for API information.
