Since you know what you're talking about. Say I'm willing to accept the updated-daily or even weekly high-res imagery of the whole planet. Any idea what the cost would boil down to? How many parties are involved?
Just wanting to learn more about this.
- s0rce 5y agoSentinel imagery is weekly and is quite good. I use it to see snow melting in the mountains when planning hikes.
- Robotbeat 5y agoThere’s a company called PlanetLabs (or just Planet) which aspires to this.
- johnmcelhone 5y agoWant medium res (10m), Sentinel-2 imagery is your best bet. Won't cost you a penny. https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/eo-browser/ https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/eo-browser/ Looking for higher resolution (3m), the only viable option really is Planet. Even at that, they're pretty iffy with their pricing models and distribution. I think they range around the $2 per square kilometre mark.
- dragonwriter 5y agofor the whole planet, the jump between $0 and around $2/sq.km. is, what, $1 billion/update difference?
- CallMeMarc 5y agoI'm no expert but there was an Ask HN about new APIs[1] recently. One answer linked to Albedo[2] which seems quite interesting. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27067945 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27067945 [2] https://www.albedo.space/ https://www.albedo.space/
