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.

This question was originally asked March 16, 2021 07:10 by user Haiyan Huang. Hi,We've downloaded several 4-band PlanetScope Scene images for some locations.I am wondering for the same locations, can we download PlanetScope Ortho Tile data  for free as we already paid the quota when we downloaded  the 4-band PlanetScope Scene data?Best wishes,Haiyan Huang

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?
