- ge96 3y agoI should have specified, I was referring to the NOAA ones that are public These images are super far away though eg. entire Earth so idk
- swanee 3y agoI will add for the U.S. based satellites the disc images are from the NOAA GOES sats which are in a Geosynchronous orbit but there is also the NOAA-15/18/19 which are lower in a Sun-synchronous orbit and you get a strip as it passes over.
- jandrese 3y agoThey're publicly funded public data. But the images are mostly only useful for tracking cloud cover.
