RapidEye Science Archive (RESA) - Level 3M Mosaic - Germany, 2015

The RapidEye RESA Germany Mosaic provides a nearly cloud-free view of the country’s geography, natural resources, and infrastructure. It is composed of 374,240 sqkm of multi-spectral RapidEye imagery, acquired between April and October 2015. The product is being provided in the framework of the RapidEye Science Archive (RESA) agreement.


Co-funded by the German Federal Government, the fleet of RapidEye satellites were launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in 2008. The satellites are now owned by Planet Labs, Inc. The RapidEye Earth observation system comprises five satellites equipped with high-resolution optical sensors. With a spatial resolution of 6.5 m the 5-band instruments operate in the visible and near-infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. With its high repetition rate the RapidEye constellation can image each point on the Earth’s at least once per day.

Statement

RapidEye Mosaic products consist of multiple RapidEye image takes that have been orthorectified

and radiometrically color balanced to a uniform appearance that are then assembled to create a single,

seamless large area image. For details see: https://www.planet.com/assets/pdfs/1606.08_Spec_Sheet_RE%20Mosaics_Letter_ENG_FINAL.pdf
