Consistent Colorization of Multiple Shots?

I ordered imagery for a large area and the result was several shots. Is it possible to symbolize them in such a way that they have the same color range? Thank you,Randy McGregor

Skysat - Vegetation Indexes

Dear allI’m working with a set of images collected through satellite tasking and would like to calculate some vegetation indexes such as NDVI and EVI. I have downloaded the TOA and SR images (both 16-bit unsigned raster). I tried re-scaling each band by the maximum pixel value before calculating the indexes and it seems to work for NDVI but not for EVI, which returns indexes completely out of range (for both, TOA and SR). This result makes me wonder if the NDVI I calculated is correct. Does anyone have experience with something similar and can recommend a procedure or reference to a material that can help me understand how to work with the imagery for this purpose?ThanksCM

Pixel SR value Conversion to index values in SkySat

Hello All, I am using the SkySat images with with 4 bands and wants to convert the SR pixel values to the index. So wondering what raster calculator constant I should use to get the final values from 0-1 for each pixel. Best, Ayush

Annotations, bulk downloading

On behalf of a customer:Need ability to annotate images over a a multi month period and ends up taking screenshots and saving in a slide deck instead of being able to save within Planet Explorer. Minimal technical background so much time has been spent learning how to use QGIS to accomplish this

SkySat and Student License

Hello, can you download SkySat imagery using an Academic license?

Hello I am new to satellite imagery and I can’t get it how to task for high resolution imagery for a specific location so I can than further edit images in Arc GIS Pro and get isocurves of terrain. I also bought a subscription to Sentinel hub.

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 to task correctly for repeated surveys?

Hello!I would like to task a mission for a repeated 1-month long observation over a polygon.In the tasking menu I selected my date span and also a order type (single photo - 1 photo per pass).Seems correct, however, the estimated quota is 32km2 which equals the area of my polygon. Is here something wrong or repeating photos over same area does not increase the quota?

Order API - Number of SkySat Collects

I’m using requests in Python to batch order SkySat collects. What is the recommended cap on how many collects to order per zip? I searched the website but wasn’t able to find any info. Thanks!

revisit times for skysat and other high-res satellites

Hello,I’m thinking about a potential application for a group of students. I’m wondering if there is any information about typical revisit times for the skysat and other high res products? Is there someone I could speak to about this?Thanks,Alex
