The PlanetScope satellite constellation, called ‘Flock’, consists of multiple launches of groups of individual Dove satellites into a 400 km orbit. Some of them were launched from the ISS. Therefore, on-orbit capacity is constantly improving in capability or quantity. Each Dove satellite is a CubeSat with a size of 10 x 10 x 34 cm. The complete PlanetScope constellation of approximately 130 satellites is able to image the entire land surface of the Earth every day, equating to a daily collection capacity of 200 million km². In 2014 the first Dove satellites started operationally acquiring images from the earth’s surface. The optical sensors mounted on the individual Dove satellites operate in the visual and near-infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum with a spatial resolution between 3 and 5 meters. A third generation of PlanetScope sensors (known as SuperDove or PSB.SD) is currently in orbit and is producing limited quantities of imagery with 5 spectral bands (BGRNIR + Red Edge). These satellites have the potential to produce imagery with 8 separate spectral bands. The PlanetScope data of this collection has been purchased by the German Space Agency with funds from the Ministry of Economy and is available for Germany-based researchers for scientific use. The data collection is maintained by the German Satellite Data Archive (D-SDA) of DLR’s Earth Observation Center and can be accessed via the EOWEB Geoportal. This collection comprises PlanetScope L1B Basic Scene 3-band natural color RGB products. The PlanetScope Basic Scene product is a Scaled Top of Atmosphere Radiance (at sensor) and sensor corrected product, providing imagery as seen from the spacecraft without correction for any geometric distortions inherent in the imaging process. It has a scene-based framing, and is not mapped to a cartographic projection.

This collection comprises the PlanetScope L1B Basic Scene 4-band multispectral image products with three visual RGB and one near-infrared band. The Basic Scene product is a scaled Top of Atmosphere Radiance (at sensor) and sensor corrected product, providing imagery as seen from the spacecraft without correction for any geometric distortions. It has a scene-based framing, and is not mapped to a cartographic projection. If available, the Surface Reflectance layer which corrects for the effects of the Earth's atmosphere is added to the product.

The RapidEye Science Archive (RESA), which allows Germany-based researchers to apply for free PlanetScope imagery, is operated by the German Satellite Data Archive (D-SDA) of DLR’s Earth Observation Center and can be accessed via the EOWEB Geoportal. New PlanetScope data as well as archive data which is not yet part of the RESA collections can be applied for at Planet Labs Germany GmbH under the RESA contract. For more information see: https://www.planet.com/resa/ This collection comprises the PlanetScope L3A OrthoTile products which are orthorectified as individual 25 km by 25 km tiles referenced to a fixed, standard image tile grid system. The OrthoTile products are radiometrically-, sensor-, and geometrically-corrected and aligned to a cartographic map projection. The Surface Reflectance layer which corrects for the effects of the Earth's atmosphere is included in the product.

Nicht nur die CODE-DE Archive können von registrierten CODE-DE Nutzern mit einer Reihe von Funktionen abgefragt werden, sondern auch die CREODIAS und Copernicus Contributing Missions Datenkataloge sind zugänglich. Der geographische Bereich einer Abfrage kann auf der Karte durch Polygone oder Punktkoordinaten definiert werden. Eine API-Abfrage wird zur späteren Verwendung in der eigenen Anwendung zur Verfügung gestellt. Darüber hinaus können registrierte Nutzer Verarbeitungsanfragen mit Hilfe vordefinierter Prozessoren für Sentinel-1- und Sentinel-2-Daten stellen. Der EO Finder dient als einer der Zugangspunkte zu einer einsatzbereiten Prozessierungskette für Erdbeobachtungsdaten, auf die jeder registrierte Nutzer von CODE-DE Zugang hat. Die Funktionalitäten reichen dabei von einfacher Vorverarbeitung bis hin zu fortgeschritteneren Algorithmen zur Atmosphärenkorrektur. - Verfügbare Daten im CODE-DE-Katalog: Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3, Sentinel-5P, Sentinel-6, Copernicus DEM (COP-DEM), MODIS / TerraAqua - Verfügbare Daten im CREODIAS-Katalog: Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3, Sentinel-5P, Landsat-5 ESA Archive, Landsat-7 ESA Archive, Landsat-8 ESA Archive - Verfügbare Daten im Copernicus Contributing Missions-Katalog: IRS-P5 CartoSat-1, Deimos-2, GeoEye-1, Ikonos-2, KOMPSAT-2, KOMPSAT-3, PlanetScope, Pleiades-1, QuickBird-2, RapidEye, IRS-P6 Resourcesat-1, IRS-P2 Resourcesat-2, SPOT-5, SPOT-6, SPOT-7, SkySat, SuperView-1, WorldView-1, WorldView-2, WorldView-3 - Verfügbare Prozessoren für Sentinel-1: SLC Interferometry (12 days), SLC Interferometry (6 days), Terrain-corrected backscatter - Verfügbare Prozessoren für Sentinel-2: FORCE Atmospheric Correction / Cloud Mask generation, SNAP-Biophysical, SNAP-C2RCC
