How do you get satlliete images?
Obtaining satellite images is a relatively straightforward process. Generally the images are acquired from a satellite imaging provider such as DigitalGlobe or Planet Labs. The images can be purchased directly from the provider or through a reseller. Once the images have been purchased they can be downloaded from the providers web-based ordering system. Step 1: Choose a satellite provider. Step 2: Purchase the desired satellite image. Step 3: Download the satellite image from the providers ordering system.Many satellite images are also available for free from government agencies such as the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The USGS provides satellite images from the Landsat program which is a joint effort between the USGS and NASA. Landsat images can be accessed through the USGSs EarthExplorer website which provides a searchable database of satellite images.
