3.2.71. Planetary Computer Search & Download

Launch the tool: https://toolbox.nextgis.com/t/planetary_search

Search and download satellite imagery and elevation data from Microsoft Planetary Computer (Sentinel-2, Landsat, Copernicus DEM, etc.) for a given bounding box and time range. Returns a ZIP archive of GeoTIFF files.

Inputs:

  • Dataset collection. Satellite/elevation data collection to search:

    • Sentinel-2 Level-2A (10-60m, 2015-present) (sentinel-2-l2a)

    • Landsat Collection 2 Level-2 (30m, 1982-present) (landsat-c2-l2)

    • Copernicus DEM Global 30m (cop-dem-glo-30)

    • Copernicus DEM Global 90m (cop-dem-glo-90)

    • NAIP Aerial Imagery (US, 0.6-1m) (naip)

    • Sentinel-1 RTC SAR (10m) (sentinel-1-rtc)

    • IO Land Use/Land Cover 9-class (10m) (io-lulc-9-class)

    • ESA WorldCover (10m) (esa-worldcover)

    • NASADEM Elevation (30m) (nasadem)

    • ALOS World 3D DEM (30m) (alos-dem)

    • MODIS Surface Reflectance 8-Day (500m) (modis-09A1-061)

  • Bounding box - draw your area of interest on the map or enter coordinates in decimal degrees (West, South, East, North in WGS84);

  • Start date in ISO format, e.g. 2024-01-01;

  • End date in ISO format, e.g. 2024-12-31

  • Max cloud cover (%) (only for optical imagery like Sentinel-2, Landsat);

  • Max results - maximum number of scenes to search (between 1 and 100, default is 10);

  • Asset keys - comma-separated list of asset keys to download (e.g. ‘B04,B03,B02’ for Sentinel-2). If empty, all GeoTIFF assets are downloaded.

Outputs:

  • ZIP-archive with data;

  • Report.
