What are the 8 bands of PlanetScope?

PlanetScope, the innovative satellite imaging system, boasts an impressive array of eight distinct bands captured by its Dove cubesats. These bands include the red edge, red, green, green I, yellow, blue, coastal blue, and near infra-red. Each band serves a unique purpose in capturing the Earth’s surface in incredible detail, from monitoring vegetation health to delineating land features.

Among these bands, the red edge band is particularly valuable for its ability to detect subtle changes in vegetation health, making it a crucial tool for agricultural monitoring and environmental studies. Meanwhile, the near infra-red band provides insights into objects’ material composition, aiding in geological surveys and urban planning. These bands work together harmoniously, offering a comprehensive view of our planet’s diverse landscapes and resources.

Whether it’s the coastal blue band for observing shallow waters or the yellow band for urban area mapping, each band in the PlanetScope system has a specific application. Researchers, environmentalists, and various industries benefit greatly from the detailed information these bands provide. The continuous operation of these bands ensures a steady stream of data, enabling ongoing analysis and understanding of our changing world.
