Question with azimuth angle of PlaneScope data

Hello,I just want to know the satellite azimuth information for PS2.SD L1B images which I downloaded.I found that there are two types of metadata: GeoJSON metadata and General XML metadata.And the definitions of the "satellite_azimuth" in GeoJSON metadata and "azimuthAngle" in General XML metadata are quite different. In case of "azimuthAngle" in General XML metadata, "azimuthAngle" means "The angle from true north at the image to the scan (line) direction at image center, in clockwise positive degrees" from the PLANETSCOPE PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS document.The "orbitDirection" of my PS2.SD L1B image is "DESCENDING" so I thought the scan (line) direction must be equal to a direction like following figure in consideration of how PS2.SD image composite were made.However, I found that "azimuthAngle" is 1.203555e+01 in General XML metadata and it doesn't make sense because I think “azimuthAngle” must be at least over 90º.So, I want to know what I missed...Thanks. (I used ‘20190408_015325_76_

Using Planet data to map coral reefs in Buccoo Reef, Tobago

Hello everyone, my team and I are utilizing Planet data for reef assessment in Buccoo Reef, Tobago. Reefs in the Caribbean region have suffered a substantial loss of 60% - 80% since 1970s and Tobago have been severely affected. We hope to use our results to implement monitoring and management strategies for the Buccoo Reef. Here is a similar paper that I’ve found using Planet Dove Satellites for reef assessment: https://zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/rse2.42 Excited to post our results soon!

Number of Doves and SuperDoves in Orbit?

Hi, I was wondering how can I get some info about the latest number of Doves and SuperDoves in the orbit? I know that the numbers are changing due to quite frequent launches of new satellites. I need this info separately for Doves and SuperDoves. Thanks

Future Flight Path

This question was originally asked April 11, 2022 03:38 by user Jasper Braakman.Is it possible to know the flight path schedule of the planet satellites in advance? I need to determine the ground truth by going outside at the same time as the satellites. However, for this, I need to know when to go outside in advance. Is this possible?

Is it possible to fire POST with different product bundles?

This question was originally asked June 09, 2022 06:09 by user Timur Myrzagaliev: Hi, everyone! I am interested in downloading both 'visual' and ''analytic_8b_udm2" at the same time (making one order instead of 2). Is it possible to do? if yes how should the payload be correctly generated?

Are there different generations of SuperDove sensors?

Hi,I would like to know more about the consistency of the data acquired by different SuperDoves. Are there different generations of SuperDoves with relatively different radiometric characteristics or all of them are exactly the same sensors? If they are different, are the harmonization parameters available to match the SuperDove data from one to another one? I know there are harmonized data with respect to Sentinel-2 but this product seems not accurate over water bodies particularly rivers. So, I need a means of harmonizing the SuperDove data relative to each other.Thank you!

Using PlanetScope Surface Relectance To Monitor Pasture Biomass

Hi Community,I would like to ask if there are existing published articles on using PlaneScope 8 bands to monitor pasture biomass? I am interested in investigating on what the new red edge band can do in monitoring above ground biomass for pastures/grassland. Your feedback will be appreciated. Thank you community.

Can the Data Quality Reports be updated so that the scatter plots of PlanetScope (PS) reflectance against RadCalNet are for the current quarter, and not historical?Would it be possible to plot the reflectances (for PS and RadCalNet) against time for each band for each RadCalNet site separately***, so that users can see the variation from day to day in the satellite reflectances, and compare them with the fluctuations in the RadCalNet values. It would be interesting to add the Sentinel 2 spectral data, as in Figure 15 of the 2022-Q1 Report.Where can I find definitions of Absolute Accuracy, Precision and Uncertainty (see Table 1). PS Is there a tag for Data Quality? *** and / or make the data values available in a Table in an Appendix, so that users can plot the values.

Basemap Quads Vector Map

This question was originally asked April 12, 2022 20:43 by user Shengbiao Wu. Hello,I want to search and download basemap quads. My study area has many small patches. I need to search them from Mosaic Quads too many times using AOIs to get the download URLs. Is there any quad vector map (e.g. shapefile) with tile IDs like other satellites (e.g. Sentinel's Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) and MODIS' Sinusoidal Tile Grid) available for the users? Using such a vector map, users can determine their target quads easily just by overlapping their study area map with the quad vector map. Thanks for your help.

Downloading partial images

This question was originally asked June 07, 2022 09:59 by user Haiyan Huang. Hi ,I uploaded a shapefile to search the images, at the edge of the shapefile, not the whole planet images are within the shapefile. Is it possible to only download the partial images that fall in the shapefile?Best,Haiyan
