NASA’s Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition Program has added Vantor’s archive imagery to the Satellite Data Explorer tool. This imagery, captured by Vantor’s Legion satellites, is sourced from their extensive 125-plus petabyte archive dating back to 1999. The collection includes both panchromatic and color imagery, with up to 18 multispectral bands, offering global coverage with resolutions as high as 30 cm.
The imagery available in the Satellite Data Explorer falls into three categories: System-Ready Level 1B Data, View-Ready Level 2A Data, and Map-Ready 3-D. These different levels cater to users with varying needs, providing options for those looking to analyze the data further or those in need of ready-to-use analytical information. This addition enhances the tool’s capabilities for researchers and analysts seeking high-quality satellite imagery for a range of applications.
