Hydrosat

Low resolution 30 m multispectral and 70 m thermal infrared satellite imagery, acquired worldwide with a revisit rate of 2 days. The collection contains data from 2024 to the present.

Overview

Hydrosat provides low resolution 30 m RGB, red edge, and near-infrared (NIR) imagery and 70 m thermal infrared (TIR) imagery acquired by VanZyl-1. Catalog datasets are available starting from 2024.
