Satellite Acquisition Plan
Satellite acquisition plan viewer allows you to check whether a satellite passing over an area is going to take an image. Spectator uses acquisition plans provided by the satellite’s operator. Acquisition plans, store information about the acquisitions the satellite is going to perform at particular times in the future. As it is often useful to look at the raw data, we have created a viewer for acquisition plans of Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Landsat-7, Landsat-8 and Landsat-9 in a single interface. Here you can go directly to the app and below is a short tutorial on how to use it and some more information.
Each acquisition plan is a bit different. Below we have gathered a couple of the most important details for every satellite separately, including data source file format and time coverage period. Using the file source link you can also access archive acquisition plans if needed. Keep in mind that Spectator only uses the latest acquisition plan available.
