2024 has been a landmark year
This year, we've doubled the number of orders placed through our platform. Our product and engineering teams have worked hard to get the right EO data and processing into hands, and to reduce delivery times through automation.
Here are some of the major highlights.
1. A bigger variety of EO data for your project needs
Complementing our existing portfolio of data, we added:
- Planet: Access Planet SkySat’s 50 cm resolution data with sub-daily revisit capabilities and simplified ordering through our platform.
- Wyvern hyperspectral data: Achieve precise feature detection and classification with the highest commercially available hyperspectral resolution (5.3 m) from Wyvern.
- Vexcel aerial imagery: Use Vexcel's high-quality discrete RGB imagery, with enriched metadata for greater flexibility across a range of applications.
- Pléiades Neo HD15: Explore sharper, more detailed 15 cm imagery for advanced monitoring, mapping, urban planning, and AI/ML applications.
We also integrated mono & stereo data from BlackSky, enhanced elevation data with Hexagon 30 cm DSM, and much more.
2. Faster ordering & delivery tracking with UP42 tasking
Getting fresh new data became even easier:
- Track order delivery progress: See exact footprints and area calculations for both delivered and pending orders.
- Plan with feasibility insights: View potential acquisition time slots and feasibility study requirements to manage projects better.
- Customizable order templates: Save and reuse tasking parameters, share templates with your team, and boost efficiency.
3. Discover & order archive imagery for your projects
We enhanced our archive catalog to make searching for and ordering data more intuitive:
- Redesigned catalog interface: Enjoy a streamlined experience with better sorting, filtering, and polygon editing tools.
- Shared geometry library: Save and reuse AOIs across projects for seamless project management.
- Scene previews: Get previews for multiple scenes together, further streamlining your search and selection process.
4. Get data in the right format with expanded processing capabilities
And, of course, all of that would be insufficient without better ways to manage your data. Here's how we improved data management:
- Stream data to 3rd party tools: View STAC item details and stream data directly to platforms like ArcGIS, QGIS, or any GIS tool of your choice.
- Search for data more easily: Upload or load saved multi-polygon geometries for quick, comprehensive searches.
- Built-in processing algorithms: Use built-in processing algorithms for pre-processing and analysis including Upsampling, Pansharpening, Change detection etc.

All of the above features are accessible through our API and SDK as well (in case you’re working with code).
Looking ahead
As we step into 2025, we remain committed to empowering your geospatial projects with industry-leading data and processing. Thank you for being a part of our journey!
