Test Drive High Resolution Data from Archive

Question

Good Day! I have an MSc in GIS specializing in remote sensing. I volunteer my time to a local conservation authority. I'm looking for remote sensing solutions to monitor human activity and invasive species in our conservation areas to assess ecosystem health.

I would like to know if there is some free archival high resolution data that I can pilot test the workflow required to process your hi-res data, before committing part of our modest budget to purchasing products from you.

Kind Regards.

Hi @i2rsantos

Planet has multiple data access pathways for researchers and students to utilize imagery!
See if you quality for any of the Science Programs.

Good Day ​@elyhienrich! Science program is not applicable to us. I think I have to describe our organization a little bit so please be patient. We are a nonprofit organization. I think when I say nonprofit Planet may be thinking of these billion dollar international NGOs like Care International USA, World Vision or Amnesty International. We are not them.Mount Echo Conservation Association (URL:MECA) is staffed by volunteers, relies on small grants for funding and the forest area it manages is about 72-100kmsq. We have larger regional partners and philanthropic organizations who are willing to fund us (and organizationslike us)if we provide a proof of concept.I have a proposal. Can you give us free access during the current one-month free license to highres imagery so we can provide a proof of concept to our regional partners and other funders?The market segment of community-based nonprofits and regional organizations requiring Planet’s services is under-served. So this would be a long run business opportunity for Planet. Kind regards.
