Exploration Subscriber Looking for Help Accessing One Historical PlanetScope Image

Hi everyone,

I'm already a Planet Exploration subscriber, and I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

My family and I are trying to resolve a land boundary dispute, and we only need one historical PlanetScope image of a very small location.

After subscribing, I realized that the imagery we need appears to require one of the much more expensive plans (around $450+), which we honestly didn't expect. We thought the Exploration subscription would be enough, but unfortunately we misunderstood the differences between the plans.

We're not looking for continuous monitoring or large datasets—just one image from a specific period that could help settle this issue.

The location is:
36°07'27.3"N 36°30'31.0"E

The ideal image would be taken between May 30, 2019 and May 30, 2020. During that period, the trees had already been cleared, but the concrete boundary marker was still in place before it was later removed.

If anyone has access to this imagery, or knows of a more affordable way to obtain just this single image, I would be incredibly grateful for your advice or assistance.

Thank you so much for your time and for any help you can offer.

Hi, ​@elyhienrich 

Thank you very much for your suggestion.

I followed your recommendation and searched through SkyFi for imagery of the location and date range I need. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any images from that period. I've attached a screenshot of the search results for reference.

Would it be possible for you, or perhaps another member of the Planet team or community, to check whether imagery actually exists for this location between May 30, 2019 and May 30, 2020?

If an image does exist, I would be very grateful for any advice on the most affordable way to obtain just that single image. This is for resolving a family land boundary dispute, so we only need one historical image rather than ongoing access or a larger dataset.

Even if you're unable to provide the image itself, could you please let me know whether Planet has any imagery available for that location and date range? Simply knowing whether an image exists would help us decide on the best next step.

Thank you again for your time and your willingness to help. I truly appreciate it.
