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 the [Planet Imagery Product Specifications](https://www.planet.com/products/#planet-monitoring) and visit the [Planet Imagery and Archive site](https://www.planet.com/latest-satellite-imagery-gallery/) 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). ### Bands **Bands** Pixel size: varies | Name | Min | Max | Pixel Size | Wavelength | Description | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | `B` | 878\* | 62089\* | 2 meters | 450-515nm | Blue | | `G` | 341\* | 62007\* | 2 meters | 515-595nm | Green | | `R` | 107\* | 63393\* | 2 meters | 605-695nm | Red | | `N` | 16\* | 62874\* | 2 meters | 740-900nm | Near-IR | | `P` | 16\* | 65520\* | 0.8 meters | 450-900nm | Panchromatic | \* estimated min or max value ### Image Properties **Image Properties** | Name | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | catalogID | STRING | Unique catalog ID corresponding to a single collection event; same across all three detectors. | | collectionEndTime | STRING | ISO 8601 collection end time (UTC). | | collectionStartTime | STRING | ISO 8601 collection start time (UTC). | | collectionType | STRING | 'Strip', 'Point', 'Area', or 'Path'. | | productType | STRING | Product type identifying the product level ('Orthorectified Imagery'). | | productionID | STRING | ID of this version of this product, generated by Singer/TileMill. | | productionSystemVersion | STRING | N/A | | resamplingMethod | STRING | The method used for interpolated pixel values. | | satelliteAzimuthAngleMax | DOUBLE | Maximum satellite azimuth angle over the collection (degrees). | | satelliteAzimuthAngleMean | DOUBLE | Mean satellite azimuth angle over the collection (degrees). | | satelliteAzimuthAngleMin | DOUBLE | Minimum satellite azimuth angle over the collection (degrees). | | satelliteElevationAngleMax | DOUBLE | Maximum satellite elevation angle over the collection (degrees). | | satelliteElevationAngleMean | DOUBLE | Mean satellite elevation angle over the collection (degrees). | | satelliteElevationAngleMin | DOUBLE | Minimum satellite elevation angle over the collection (degrees). | | satelliteName | STRING | Unique name identifying the spacecraft. | | snaptoAlignmentConfidence | DOUBLE | N/A | | snaptoReferenceAssets | STRING | N/A | | solarAzimuthAngle | DOUBLE | Solar azimuth angle at the time of collection. | | solarElevationAngle | DOUBLE | Solar elevation angle at the time of collection. | | terrainBlendEpoch | DOUBLE | N/A | | channelScaleOfLinearImages | DOUBLE | N/A | ### Terms of Use **Terms of Use** This dataset is made available publicly under the Creative Commons by Attribution license(CC-BY-4.0). ### Citations Citations: - © \ Planet Labs Inc. ### Explore with Earth Engine > [!NOTE] > **Important:** Earth Engine is a platform for petabyte-scale scientific analysis and visualization of geospatial datasets, both for public benefit and for business and government users.
