Imagery you can actually order

Tasking and archive across optical, multispectral and SAR. Draw an area, pick a sensor, get a price and a pass window before you commit.

Optical, to 50 cm

Panchromatic and true colour for detail work: asset condition, construction progress, counting things that are visibly there.

Multispectral, 3 m

Eight bands including red edge and near infrared, which is where vegetation stress, water quality and burn severity come from.

SAR, 1 m

X-band radar that images through cloud and at night. The default for flood, maritime, and any site under persistent cover.

Tasking

You give us a polygon, a sensor and a window. We check it against the constellation plan and come back with the passes that can actually serve it, not a vague promise of "within a week".

Three tiers: rush takes the next usable pass and delivers within six hours of capture, standard picks the best pass in a seven-day window, and monitoring books a repeating capture on a cadence you set, which is how most agriculture and construction customers buy.

Archive

Before tasking anything, search what already exists. Most questions about what a site looked like last spring are answered from the archive at a third of the price, delivered in minutes. The catalogue is searchable by polygon, date range, cloud cover and sensor through the API or the console.

Processing levels

LevelWhat you getTypical use
L1 — RadiometricSensor-corrected, not terrain-correctedSpecialists doing their own geometry
L2 — OrthorectifiedTerrain corrected, map projected, tiledMost GIS work. The default.
L3 — Analysis readyAtmospherically corrected, cloud masked, stacked over timeTime series and machine learning
L4 — DerivedIndices, change masks, object detectionsTeams who want answers, not pixels

Analytics on top

  • Change detection between any two captures of the same polygon, with the changed area highlighted and quantified.
  • Vegetation indices including NDVI and red-edge variants, per field boundary rather than per tile.
  • Volumetrics from stereo pairs for stockpiles and excavation.
  • Object detection for vessels, aircraft and vehicles, delivered as geometry rather than a picture to squint at.
  • Flood and burn extents from SAR, which is the fastest usable product after an event.

Delivery

Cloud-optimised GeoTIFF by default, or JPEG 2000 where you need it. Delivery by signed URL, straight to your object storage, or as XYZ and WMTS tiles for a web map. Large orders can be shipped over a link we installed, which is a real advantage on a remote site.

Quality and reshoots

You set a maximum cloud cover and an off-nadir limit when ordering. A capture that misses either is not billed and is automatically re-tasked on the next pass. We would rather re-fly than argue about a scene you cannot use.
