Question about Hi-Res imagery download

Greetings all,First of please allow me to say that I am brand new to this platform, and I am not super familiar with all that it has to offer (I am slowly making my way through the Planet University vids) so go easy on me ;) Currently I am working with a student who is interested in detection of invasive plant species based on their spectral signature. For this I need Hi Res imagery (0.5m/px) of my area of interest, which already exist in Planet Explorer.I am not able to download these two images (or better yet, I do not know how to download) for my student project. (20210624_190141_ssc10d1_0015, and 20210624_190141_ssc10d1_0014) The “Order Scenes” button is grayed out.Currently, there is no reason to task new image acquisition because at this time of the year, the plants have already shed their foliage, and I cannot wait until next summer, the project needs to be finished before April. Any guidance is greatly appreciated,Ovidiu

Education and Research Account

Hello,I am reaching out to you in connection with my ongoing master's thesis, which involves the analysis of satellite images. I am currently utilizing a standard Education and Research Account. As my thesis progresses, I anticipate the need for a larger volume of data, and I am concerned that the freely available download area may not be sufficient for my requirements.Is there a possibility to extend the monthly download limit for my account. If such an extension is available, could you please provide details on whether it is a complimentary service for educational and research purposes, or if there is a cost associated with the additional data access? thanks in advance!

Planet Account Transfer

Once my time in this college is finished, I’ll lose access to my outlook account and henceforth any Planet data or access. Is there any way to continue using this service even when I am no longer using it for educational purposes? If so, could I transfer any saved searches or user data to another address/account?Thanks, Aaron Moore

Planet Labs Basic Student Account

I recently just got a basic student account for Planet Labs. With this account am I able to download images from planet explorer? If so, for some reason I can not. All I can seem to do is zoom in on the map and look around, but it is very blurry. I have looked at a few courses and other materials, but can not seem to figure it out. The picture below is from my Planet account. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am also reaching out to customer support.

Planetary Variables access with basic account

Hi forum, I have created a basic account to access two Planetary Variables: SM and VOD. Although Planetary Variables are not listed among the products available to basic users in the E&R program, it is not clear whether they are included in other products. Can I access these products with my basic account for educational and research purposes?Thanks!Regards, Sabrina

Will the new Pelican satellites improve E&R resolution?

Student here:If things are still on schedule at Planet, the new line of Pelican satellites are launching next year and will provide higher resolution imagery and faster revisit times. How soon after launch will these satellites come into use, and will the E&R plans be included in this improvement in imaging capabilities? Currently high resolution tasking (for my current plan) isn’t available beyond 3m, but Pelican promises 30 cm. ThanksAaron Moore

Is it possible to use the clip tool with educational account downloads?

I’m currently a PhD student using Planet imagery for some of my projects. I have written some Python imagery download scripts to help gather imagery for my research via https://api.planet.com/data/v1 and am wondering if it is possible to access the clip tool for surface reflectance (_sr) assets through the educational access. This would be great because it would save a lot of storage space and let me not worry about exceeding my monthly quota. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!Phillip

Access to Satellite Images under the Planet's Education and Research Program

Hi, good day! I applied and was accepted under the Planet's Education and Research Program. I tried acquiring PlanetScope Scene and PlanetScope Ortho Tile. However, the website still requires me to “Purchase Access”. Is there an additional step to avail the satellite images for free? Thank you.

Planet Scope revisit time and Missing dates

HiI understand that with PlanetScope we can get almost daily images, but in some dates there are a few missing dates.For example, in some areas in Arkansas2022 Period Jul-29 Aug-11 we are missing images of:02 ago 04 ago 05 ago 07 ago 09 agoIs this due to cloudiness? Or, What is the reason why there are that many dates unavailable?It is just to understand how the frecuency works.Thank you.

Resolution of Data not as expected

The basic license granted to me as an educator permits use of low resolution data ONLY, so not useful for the targeted use by my PhD students in 11 West African countries. Is there any explanation for this?
