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.
Solved
Best way to go about getting Satellite Imagery on more zoomed in areas of interest?

Hey
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.
