FAQs
The UP42 platform allows you to order, manage, and process Earth observation data, including satellite and aerial imagery, elevation and other types of data from a huge range of providers, all in a single place.
You can create an account for free and explore the platform right here in your browser. Just click here to create an account. We make it easy to get started with no app download required. We've got archive imagery from the world's top providers of Earth observation data, and you can also task a satellite to capture new data.
If you 're a developer, or looking to place many orders, you can also access the platform and make bulk orders via our API or Python SDK.
Every provider has their own ordering process. We can’t speak for all of them, but often, there’s quite a bit of paperwork and back and forth involved.
Now imagine that you need a few different types of imagery from different providers: that’s a different contact and legal process for each one. In contrast, we offer a single point of contact to different providers, with the same interface, ordering process, standardized data formats, and ability to track and store all your orders at once from a single platform.
Even if you only need data from a single provider, UP42 simplifies the entire ordering process from end-to-end, cutting down on back-and-forth communications and delivering data that’s ready to integrate into geospatial workflows.
Our partners include Airbus (Pléiades, Pléiades Neo, TerraSAR-X, SPOT, WorldDEM, Vision-1), 21AT ( Beijing 3A and 3N, TripleSat), BlackSky, Hexagon, ICEYE, IMPRO, Imagesat, Intermap, Vantor (formerly Maxar), NV5, Pixxel, Planet, SIIS (KOMPSAT-3, KOMPSAT-3A, KOMPSAT-5), Satellogic, Synspective, Umbra, Vexcel, Wyvern, and more, along with free data from Sentinel-2 and Landsat.
In terms of data types, we have multispectral, hyperspectral, thermal, SAR, elevation, and lidar, collected by satellites and aerial systems. For the full list, please see our collections.
Our customers come from a huge range of industries. Vegetation management, utilities and infrastructure monitoring, urban planning, forestry, mining, defense, and insurance forecasting are just a few of the businesses where Earth observation data can have a huge impact.
