Agile EO Webinar Series: Product 101

For last month’s Agile EO Webinar, we went “back to school” with Product 101: a review of Planet’s core product offerings. As many kids return to school after summer break in the northern hemisphere, we wanted to embrace the beginner’s mindset and go back to basics.  We covered Planet’s 4 core product pillars:The first two pillars (Monitoring and Tasking) deliver data captured from Planet’s proprietary fleet of satellites orbiting the earth, while the other pillars (Planetary Variables and Platform) synthesize already collected data from multiple sources to help you gather rich insights and answer key questions. We also touched on learning resources like Planet University and Planet Community.  Check out the webinar recording here to learn more about each product, see example use cases, and to get a peak at what will be released in the coming months.  Since we didn’t get time to answer all of the questions submitted during the webinar, we are sharing them here: WIll access from QGIS be

Contrails HD pictures

Dear All,I want to find contrail images taken from above with the aim of measuring their width versus distance from the plane, over a distance of several kilometers. I believe the information exists on satellite photos, but I am unable to find them on my own.Here's an example of the type of shot I'm looking for, but with much better resolution :https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Contrails_nasa2004October13.jpgCould someone please help me with some suggestions? Thanks in advance !Best,Serge

Unable to import Planets Multispectral PlanetScope Imagery into Google Earth Engine

I am doing multispectral geospatial analysis using pair of Planets (RGB, NIR) imagery band, for Sept 11 and October 18, 2016 with Google Earth Engine (GEE). My Planet Explorer search through my Planets account showed the pair of images are available as PlanetScope scene. However, the GEE snippet for importing Planets imagery seemed to be an experimental "Skyboard for Good Beta" program from 2015, found here: Planet SkySat Public Ortho Imagery, Multispectral  |  Earth Engine Data Catalog  |  Google for DevelopersWhen I run the code snippet in GEE, I get an error image that reads "Layer 1: Layer error: Expression does not evaluate to an image". Is there a GEE code for the type of images I need (PlanetScope 4 or 8 band imagery)? Is there some way to directly import Planets images into my GEE project folder?

Checking the quota my subscription will consume before creating it

I am writing this post because I want to know if there is any response parameter, API call or tool that you can use to know exactly how much quota will be consumed by my subscription.Of course, I could calculate the area in sq kms using python or any other programming language but I am concerned about the rounding up errors, so I would like to get the exact value from Planet’s side before actually creating the subscription. I have noticed that in planet explorer there are tools that measure the area of your AOI but I will use the Subscription API to get data of my AOI for over long periods of time programmatically, so I will not use planet explorer.Also, I have read that there is an API for generating reports, called the reports API, but the documentation about it was rather scarce (I do not know whether in the report the quota usage per subscription will be included as I cannot use it) and also these reports are generated after creating the subscriptions, so this does not answer my qu

Atmospheric Correction

Hi everyone, I am trying to decide whether I should perform my own atmospheric corrections to develop SuperDove surface reflectance products (especially over waterbodies).What best practices do you have for atmospheric correction over terrestrial and aquatic environments? Are there any workflows/code repositories that you have found helpful? As MODIS is decommissioned, what options exist to replace the water vapor and ozone inputs currently used in the process for generating surface reflectance products? What level of success have people had using these other inputs?

What's the easiest way to download data over a long temporal range?

I'm new to PlanetScope and to mapping. My question is which is the easiest and most time efficient way to download my site data from Planet? I find using the Planet Explorer clear and easy to use, and it lets me clip the image data to just my sites, which is very good as it prevents me from going over my quota. However, I want to download the data for my sites across their whole temporal range (2016 to present day). As far as I can tell, the explorer won't let me do this easily as I have to manually click each scene and press the "load more" button.I've also tried using the official Planet plugin for QGIS. It is cool that it loads Planet data directly into QGIS, but I don't see any option to crop scenes down to just the pixels I want. I also don't see the option to bulk select scenes within a date range. Lastly, I've attempted to use the APIs that Planet provides, but this is challenging because I'm only familiar with the R programming language, so I keep encountering errors. Furthermo

UPDATE on Effect of Solar Flare

Proton levels associated with the M5.7 X-ray flare have decreased to a level where we are able to resume standard operations for the satellite fleet. Our high resolution imaging fleet has resumed imaging and we expect medium resolution imaging to resume within the next several hours. We will continue to monitor solar activity as the satellite fleet is brought back online.Check out Planet's Status Page for more information!

Solar Weather Ceasing Imaging Activities on SkySat & SuperDove Fleets

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued an alert for an M5.7 X-ray flare (see swpc.noaa.gov/news/r2-mod-hf-radio-blackout-and-s2-mod-solar-radiation-storm-17-july-2023 for details). This solar flare has resulted in radiation levels that have exceeded our operational thresholds for imaging operations across Planet's satellite fleets. Planet plans for events like this and we have implemented our safety procedures to ensure our satellite fleet is not impacted. During this time imaging will not be available. Like any space weather event, the length can be unpredictable so we will be posting updates to Planet's Status Page when available (at a minimum every 24hr) until this is resolved.

SkySat Update

On June 26, our Mission Operations team managed the final operations and reentry of one of our decommissioned SkySats. As a part of our commitment to responsible space use, bringing this SkySat down from space ensured that it would not pose a risk to other spacecraft or further contribute to space debris. As a reminder, this is a planned re-entry and does not have any notable impact our high-resolution fleet’s capacity or customers’ tasking abilities, because Planet’s agile aerospace approach optimizes capabilities around a constellation of satellites, and the team has continued to innovate and improve our tasking capabilities across the program. We are able to apply learnings from the SkySat fleet as we now look forward to launching the upcoming in-space tech demo of high-resolution Pelicans in the near future.

How do clipped raster downloads affect monthly download quota?

Hello, everyone! I am downloading raster images clipped to a small aoi. It appears that my quota allocation is still counting the entire scene’s coverage area towards my monthly download quota, however. From my calculations, I have downloaded maybe a total of 10km^, but my monthly total is showing more like 2400 km^2. Can someone clarify whether downloading clipped rasters should only count the clipped area or if they count the entire scene from  which they are clipped when allocating towards the monthly download. I am downloading using the process of placing an order based upon a list of feature id’s and my clip aoi, then downloading the order once it is completed using the python Planet library (via orders.py’s download methods). Any info will be much appreciated.Thanks!Phillip
