Landsat Series
The Landsat Series is the world's longest running system of satellites for moderate-resolution optical remote sensing for land, coastal areas and shallow waters.
Mission - Third Party Missions
WorldView Series
The WorldView constellation are environment-monitoring satellites that have been supplying imagery since 2007.
Mission - Third Party Missions
GEOSAT
The GEOSAT series consists of GEOSAT-1 and GEOSAT-2 missions. They are Earth imaging satellites. GEOSAT-2, a high resolution satellite, became the first European fully-private satellite capable of providing sub-metric multi-spectral imagery.

SPOT
The SPOT (from French "Satellite pour l'Observation de la Terre") series of missions has been supplying high-resolution, wide-area optical imagery since 1986.

Spire
Spire Global's constellation of Lemur nanosatellites offer satellite-based maritime, aviation and weather tracking.
Mission - Third Party Missions
SkySat
SkySat is a constellation of high-resolution Earth imaging satellites from the commercial company Planet Labs.
Mission - Third Party Missions
PlanetScope
The PlanetScope satellite constellation consists of multiple launches of groups of individual cubesats (DOVEs).

WorldView-3
WorldView-3 is the first multi-payload, super-spectral, high-resolution commercial satellite sensor operating at an altitude of 617 km. WorldView-3 is capable of collecting up to 680,000 square km per day.
Mission - Third Party Missions
WorldView-2
WorldView-2 is an environment-monitoring satellite from Maxar which presents images as the human eye can perceive them, creating a more realistic 'true colour' view of the world.
Mission - Third Party Missions
SPOT 6
SPOT 6, like all the SPOT missions, is aimed at supplying high-resolution, wide-area optical imagery.
Mission - Third Party Missions
SCISAT-1
SCISAT-1 is designed to make observations of Earth's atmosphere and its main instruments are an optical Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and an ultraviolet spectrophotometer.
Mission - Third Party Missions
IRS-R2 (ResourceSat-2)
IRS-R2 (ResourceSat-2) continues the remote sensing data services to global users provided by the ResourceSat-1 mission and also provides data with enhanced multispectral/ spatial coverage.
Mission - Third Party Missions
Pleiades
The Pleiades programme followed the SPOT programme satellite series, introducing advanced technologies in Earth observation.
Mission - Third Party Missions
OceanSat-2
OceanSat-2 provides service continuity for the operational users of the OCM (Ocean Colour Monitor) instrument launched in 1999 on board the predecessor IRS-P4/OceanSat-1 mission.
Mission - Third Party Missions
Landsat-8
Landsat-8 is an Earth-imaging satellite from USGS and NASA which launched in 2013. The Landsat programme provides a global archive of satellite imagery.
Mission - Third Party Missions
GeoEye-1
At the time of its launch, GeoEye-1 was the world's highest-resolution commercial Earth-imaging satellite.
Mission - Third Party Missions
GEOSAT-2
GEOSAT-2 is the second satellite of the Deimos Earth Observation system, following GEOSAT-1.
