How To Access Data
Project Proposal (Restrained)
- Go to the ESA User Services Portal
- Register or log in to EO Sign In
- After logging in, complete and submit the form with your proposed use of the data
- The proposal will be evaluated by ESA, which normally takes between 4 and 6 weeks
- Upon successful evaluation, you will receive a confirmation email, which describes the amount of data to be provided, and details of how to order the data.
The collection is open for research and application development, prototype and test projects to users located in the territory of ESA Member States (including Canada) and in the European Commission Member States.
Data are available to order on demand upon submission of a Project Proposal subject to evaluation and acceptance by ESA.
ESA will support as many high-quality and innovative projects as possible within the quota limit available, therefore only a limited amount of products can be allowed to each project.
The products are available as part of the Planet provision from RapidEye, Skysat and PlanetScope constellations. RapidEye collection has worldwide coverage: the Planet Explorer Catlogue can be accessed (Planet registration requested) to discover and check the data readiness.
All details about the data provision and availability, data access conditions, usage restrictions and quota assignment procedure are described in the Terms of Applicability document available in the Resources section.
If you need help with the proposal form, consult this guide on how to access data requiring a project proposal.
For further information about the EO Sign In Service you can visit TellUs.
Should you need support to prepare your proposal or access the data, please contact EOHelp.
Description
The RapidEye Level 3A Ortho Tile, both Visual (in natural colour) and Analytic (multispectral), full archive products are available as part of Planet imagery offer.
The RapidEye Ortho Tile product (L3A) is radiometric, sensor and geometrically corrected (by using DEMs with a post spacing of between 30 and 90 metres) and aligned to a cartographic map projection. Ground Control Points (GCPs) are used in the creation of every image and the accuracy of the product will vary from region to region based on available GCPs.
Product Components | Image File – GeoTIFF file that contains image data and geolocation information Metadata File – XML format metadata file Unusable Data Mask (UDM) file – GeoTIFF format |
---|---|
Bands | 3-band natural color (blue, green, red) or 5-band multispectral image (blue, green, red, red edge, near-infrared) |
Ground Sampling Distance | 6.5 m at nadir (average at reference altitude 475 km) |
Projection | UTM WGS84 |
Accuracy | Depends on the quality of the reference data used (GCPs and DEMs) |
The products are available as part of the Planet provision from RapidEye, Skysat and PlanetScope constellations. RapidEye collection has worldwide coverage: the Planet Explorer Catalogue can be accessed (Planet registration requested) to discover and check the data readiness. All details about the data provision, data access conditions and quota assignment procedure are described in the Terms of Applicability.
As per ESA policy, very high-resolution imagery of conflict areas cannot be provided.
