Great post Mark. Long time reader - really enjoy your content.
To any readers - Any thoughts on how I can get satellite imagery of Aniak Alaska at a very low cost? I've looked into the sentinel imagery and it works -- unfortunately difficult to find enough images without high cloud cover. I could work through lots of images to piece together a solution -- but even then, I'd love to get higher resolution. Thank you for any guidance!
I've seen skyfi.com which seems promising but haven't decided to purchase.
- fnands 3y agoVery low cost for better than Sentinel-2 is hard. If 3m is OK then you could look into PlanetScope imagery, although getting small amounts as a hobbyist might be a pain. I had a look at SkyFi, and there is some 75cm imagery in Aniak that you could buy for 20 bucks (for 5km^2). I doubt you can do better than that. Tasking VHR imagery can be costly, as there is usually a large minimum order size. For archival, you just have to hope someone else took a picture of what you are interested in.
- wferrell 3y agoThank you Fnands. I appreciate it. I will have to go back to SkyFi -- I must have missed this 75cm imagery.
- fnands 3y agoLemme know if you don't find it. I could have shared the link but the URL is ugly, lol. There is also some 30cm Pleiades Neo imagery that I found in Airbus's archive, but I don't think SkyFi offers PNeo.
