Wild Wild Space Documentary and Obvious Need To Be Filled

HiI just watched the excellent Wild Wild Space Documentary and as a non rocket nerd (I am a huge VR nerd) I was unaware of all three companies featured.  I am familiar wih Space X and it’s evil overlord, Blue Origin and it’s celebrity chasing dweeb and a bare blip of Virgin, and of course growing up with NASA - my high school year book cover featured a holographic pic of the moon landing as my hometown built one of the space capsules.  I have always been proud of humanity’s ventures into space and the tech it has spawned that has benefited and enriched our lives.  I truly thought we be living like the Jetsons by year 2000 and  not prepping for the Y2K apocalypse.  But some things have evolved quite fast and furious as noted in the film.The insane privatization of low earth orbit space has sky rocketed (pun intended, sue me) and the race to send thousands more sats up there is concerning, to say he least, and rather horrifying as the competition for dominance / supremacy surges and sats

Hello, I am Bilal from Morocco. I have a plot of land that I want in two areas. I found signs of Jewish and French cemeteries for soldiers. The place I am in is in front of a military barracks that was established in 1904 by the French.

WMS from multiple collections

Hi,We are evaluating Sentinel Hub for our application, which needs to stream Planet data via WMS to our users.Our use case involves:Many distinct fields (AOIs), each with its own Planet data. Each user has permission to view a dynamic subset of these fields.Our proposed approach is to create a separate BYOC collection for each field. For a given user, we would then create a Configuration that includes all the collections (fields) they have access to.The issue we've encountered is that this creates separate layers for each collection in the Configuration. For example, an NDVI layer appears as COLLECTION_A_NDVI, COLLECTION_B_NDVI, etc. We want to provide a single NDVI layer that seamlessly renders data from the appropriate collections based on the viewing area.What is the recommended way to achieve this in Sentinel Hub? Is our "one collection per AOI" approach correct, or is there a better method? Given these requirements, is Sentinel Hub the right tool for our use case?Thanks.

Request for Technical Collaboration and API Access – Humanitarian Use Case with AGDO.e.V

 To: Planet Developer Relations & Planet University TeamDear Planet Team,I hope this message finds you well.My name is Hasan Al Shareef, an Independent UN Expert and President of AGDO.e.V (Arab/German Green Development Organization). We are currently leading a humanitarian initiative focused on mapping water resource dynamics and monitoring ecological stress in arid and semi-arid regions, using remote sensing data for real-time, evidence-based decision-making.Over the past few days, we have engaged deeply with the Planet Community platform and received valuable support and engagement, including from @elyhienrich. We’ve also proposed a new feature request for a Dynamic Water-Resource Dashboard in Planet Explorer, and contributed to discussions around PlanetScope-based monitoring strategies.Given this momentum and our organizational capacity, we would like to formally request technical collaboration with Planet, including: Pilot access to PlanetScope data for a defined humanitarian c

I need help

Hello, and thank you for allowing me into your community. I need help. On 2021 I fell the sidewalk was half shoveled of snow and ice is there any way I can prove this using satellite imagery? I sustained a traumatic brain injury from the fall and left me with lifelong symptoms. One other thing I am not sure of where to post my message.

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

Measure size of gathering/number of people

Hi, I’m a new user in Planet and I’d like to measure the number of people gathering for certain events in Mexico. What would be the best way of doing this?I know the date, time and location of events, which sometimes overlap with the timing when the satellite images are taken. I don’t know too much of remote sensing, but my idea was to measure the spatial distribution of image tone intensities, comparing images of a same location with and without the gathering.I’d appreciate if I could get any feedback on how to implement this! One of my questions is what is the appropriate meters per pixel that image that I should use? What is the minimum size of a gathering that I could detect?Example: I know that in this park (24.022724971695283, -104.67158198775181) there was a political gathering on June 21, 2018 around the time the image was taken. Hopefully, if there were enough people attending, I would be able to observe this, right?Thanks for any directions or suggestions!

Rescaling Color Channels for Keras

This question is not about visualization so it may not be related to https://community.planet.com/topic/show?tid=159&fid=3 even there are some similarities. My issue is that I am feeding a Keras model where I need to basically use a 0.0 to 1.0 color space. Now for regular RGB images I would simply do a rescaling with /255. For Sentinel2 I’d do /10000 but what is the correct factor for Planet```PSSceneAsset types    ortho_analytic_4b_sr    ortho_analytic_4b_xml    ortho_udm2```I do not want an individual range per scene but a “standard” rescaling factor. If there are outliers (as with Sentinel2 NIR channel) this would be Ok.thank you very much for your support.

Specific information about the satellites and constellations.

Hello every one!I would like to know if there is any document up to date that contains information about all the satélites, such as its constellation, the day of launch, orbital parameters and so on. I have looked for it and couldn't find anything, if anyone knows where I can find this info other than in Planet Labs public ephemerides I would really apreciated it. Thank you in advance,Oscar Gamallo

Night Time Imagery?

I am new to the platform and can’t find any reference to night-time imagery as I’d like to do a classification of illuminated areas. I can understand not having that imagery stored regularly as it is less applicable to most people. However, could this be tasked, can I find examples of this? Any guidance would be appreciated!

Why are Planet's images not open to the general public?

I’d like to know what reasons exist for limiting Planet Data to scientists, researchers, and government and private ventures. I think, like EOBrowser, which Planet Labs just acquired, Planet’s near daily imagery should be offered in a free, quick to access manner to users of the general public like Sentinel data.

Monitoring natural resource offset asset condition

Many development projects require offsets to compensate for habitat and vegetation destroyed in the process of “development”. These offsets require monitoring periodically (annually) to meet their environmental compliance requirements. Periodic use of Planet imagery with suitable analysis (for the asset of interest) would seem an obvious application. I am interested in setting up such a system on a commercial basis but wonredif anyohaths already or if there were any research papers on this topic
