    RapidEye Full archive

    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.

    RapidEye time series for Sentinel-2

    The European Space Agency, in collaboration with BlackBridge collected two time series datasets with a five day revisit at high resolution: February to June 2013 over 14 selected sites around the world April to September 2015 over 10 selected sites around the world. The RapidEye Earth Imaging System provides data at 5 m spatial resolution (multispectral L3A orthorectified). The products are radiometrically and sensor corrected similar to the 1B Basic product, but have geometric corrections applied to the data during orthorectification using DEMs and GCPs. The product accuracy depends on the quality of the ground control and DEMs used. The imagery is delivered in GeoTIFF format with a pixel spacing of 5 metres. The dataset is composed of data over: 14 selected sites in 2013: Argentina, Belgium, Chesapeake Bay, China, Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gabon, Jordan, Korea, Morocco, Paraguay, South Africa and Ukraine. 10 selected sites in 2015: Limburgerhof, Railroad Valley, Libya4, Algeria4, Figueres, Libya1, Mauritania1, Barrax, Esrin, Uyuni Salt Lake. Spatial coverage: Check the spatial coverage of the collection on a map available on the Third Party Missions Dissemination Service.

    RapidEye South America

    ESA, in collaboration with BlackBridge, has collected this RapidEye dataset of level 3A tiles covering more than 6 million km2 of South American countries: Paraguay, Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Uruguay and Argentina. The area is fully covered with low cloud coverage. Spatial coverage: Check the spatial coverage of the collection on a map available on the Third Party Missions Dissemination Service.

    GRACE-A and GRACE-B Level 1B, Level 1B combined and Level 2 Data Products

    Level-1A Data Products are the result of a non-destructive processing applied to the Level-0 data at NASA/JPL. The sensor calibration factors are applied in order to convert the binary encoded measurements to engineering units. Where necessary, time tag integer second ambiguity is resolved and data are time tagged to the respective satellite receiver clock time. Editing and quality control flags are added, and the data is reformatted for further processing. The Level-1A data are reversible to Level-0, except for the bad data packets. This level also includes the ancillary data products needed for processing to the next data level. The Level-1B Data Products are the result of a possibly destructive, or irreversible, processing applied to both the Level-1A and Level-0 data at NASA/JPL. The data are correctly time-tagged, and data sample rate is reduced from the higher rates of the previous levels. Collectively, the processing from Level-0 to Level-1B is called the Level-1 Processing. This level also includes the ancillary data products generated during this processing, and the additional data needed for further processing. The Level-2 data products include the static and time-variable (monthly) gravity field and related data products derived from the application of Level-2 processing at GFZ, UTCSR and JPL to the previous level data products. This level also includes the ancillary data products such as GFZ's Level-1B short-term atmosphere and ocean de-aliasing product (AOD1B) generated during this processing.
