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.

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.
