1.3.7 Planet Labs
Planet Labs has a range of cubesats that obtain different types of data in different resolutions. We have used the PlanetScope four-band data (green, blue, red, near-infrared).
Data can be accessed at Planet Explorer; the easiest way to find images using Planet Explorer is to create an area of interest (AOI) with a geographic java-script object notation (GeoJSON).
Lab policy is that data should always be downloaded to a RAID system or immediately backed up to an additional hard drive manually.
Currently, we have access to Planet Labs data through the USAID grant, which provides access through the NASA Commercial Smallsat Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program. Access is also available through the Planet Labs Education and Research Program.
