High-Res images are taken upon request and require a paid plan. You can go directly from Explorer to the Tasking Dashboard to place an order for SkySat imagery for the same area of interest you were looking at.
SkySat imagery ranges from 50 cm resolution to 80 cm resolution, depending on orthorectification and altitude.
Search for your Area of Interest in Explorer¶
You can search for your area of interest by typing in a location, uploading a geo file, or drawing an area of interest on the map.
Click Task in Explorer¶
In the left hand toolbar, click on the fifth icon from the top. The tooltip message displays Task a high resolution image.
Click this button to go to the Tasking Dashboard. The center-point of your screen in Explorer will be transferred to the Tasking Dashboard and you can submit your request to task a SkySat satellite.
Log in to the Tasking Dashboard¶
Log in to the Tasking Dashboard with your Planet Account credentials to continue.
