I need a history of satellite images but when I download only the monthly mosaics are there, is there a way to get the daily satellite images that make up the planet mosaics?

Hi @Dehivy 

If you are a NICFI user, then you will only have access to the monthly mosaics, not the individual scenes. 

However, if you are a PlanetScope user, then you can use the identify tool to pinpoint the PlanetScope image for any given pixel in the basemap and then search for that image in Planet Explorer.

 

There are multiple data access pathways see Science Programs for more information!

Thank you!!I have another question, when trying to create an account in Planetscope it does not let me carry out the process and I get the following message "See how Planet Data can make change visible and accessible for your organization by visiting our Getting Started page." Is there a way to change my NICFI account to Planetscope?
