Archive licensing and tasking; orthorectification, pan-sharpening and cloud masking in-house
Search and order sharp, recent imagery for any area of interest, with clear licence terms per scene.
Orthorectified, pan-sharpened 50 cm imagery in red, green, blue and near-infrared bands, delivered as cloud-optimized GeoTIFF tiles with a cloud and haze mask, footprint polygons and full capture metadata: acquisition time, sensor, off-nadir and sun angles, ground sample distance and processing level. A catalogue API lets you search by area, date range and cloud cover before ordering. New tasking can be requested for areas without suitable recent captures.
The archive covers about 410 million km² captured since 2015 by partner very-high-resolution constellations, with about 60,000 km² added daily. Scenes are processed in-house to a common orthorectified product; geolocation accuracy is typically better than 5 m CE90 without ground control. Archive imagery is priced per km² with a 25 km² minimum order; tasking has a 100 km² minimum and depends on weather and satellite availability. The standard licence allows internal use and derived products; redistribution of raw imagery needs an extended licence. Imagery is not used to monitor or identify individuals.

Satellite archive, crop analytics and building footprints from orbit
Altimètre resells a 50 cm optical archive from partner constellations and turns imagery into analytics: crop types and yields in Europe and the Black Sea region, and building footprints across Africa. Imagery and derived layers come with full capture metadata and licence terms per scene.

Crop-type maps for our Black Sea regions agreed with our agronomists' field visits on the large majority of parcels. Yield estimates are most useful as a trend through the season rather than an absolute number early on.
Yusuf A., Agricultural commodities analyst, Grain trading house
We needed 50 cm imagery over three construction corridors with low cloud cover. They shortlisted scenes, sent previews the same afternoon and delivered orthorectified tiles two days later. Licence terms for sharing with our client were clear.
