This data from Planet labs Inc. SkySat satellites was collected for
the experimental "Skybox for Good Beta" program in 2015, as well as for
various crisis response events and a few other projects. The data is
available in both a 5-band Multispectral/Pan collection, and a Pansharpened
RGB collection.
Each image's asset ID contains the acquisition date and time, for
example, image s01_20150304T080608Z was acquired on March 4, 2015 at
08:06 Zulu (UTC). For more information, please see thePlanet Imagery Product Specificationsand visit thePlanet Imagery and Archivesite.
This Multispectral/Pan collection contains images with five 16-bit bands
shifted up from the original 12-bit data. The B, G, R, and Near-IR bands
have a resolution of approximately 2m per pixel, while the Pan band is
approximately 0.8m resolution (closer to 1m for off-nadir images).
