Apogee

01Imagery

Products and specifications

Pictures you can act on.

Four ways to get Apogee imagery, from a standing order over the places you watch to a single picture of a place you have never looked at before. Every product comes from the same 48 satellites and the same eight-band sensor.

Products

  1. 01

    Daily monitoring

    A standing order over the areas you watch. Each clear day you get a fresh capture, cloud-masked and aligned to the one before.

    • Areas from 25 km² to whole regions
    • Change alerts by email or webhook
    • Pixel-aligned stacks for time series

    Daily · from 25 km²

  2. 02

    Tasking

    Point a satellite at a place and a time window. The scheduler picks the first daylight pass and tells you when it will happen.

    • Standard, priority, and rush tiers
    • Off-nadir up to 20° for sharper pictures
    • Delivered under 90 minutes after capture

    Next pass in hours, not days

  3. 03

    Archive access

    Every picture the constellation has taken since July 2023, searchable by place, date, cloud cover, and viewing angle.

    • STAC API search and bulk export
    • Same-day archive for every capture
    • Licensed per area, not per image

    Since 2023 · searchable

  4. 04

    Analytics feeds

    Numbers instead of pictures, computed from every new capture and delivered as tables your systems can read.

    • Vegetation health (NDVI and red edge)
    • Flood extent and burn severity
    • Ship, aircraft, and vehicle counts
