High-Resolution Images Captured 35 Minutes Apart Show Mining Activity
Time-series remote sensing with high-resolution imagery has allowed many industries and users the ability to detect changes in land use and land cover over time. Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) has contracted with Planet Labs for access to their catalog of PlanetScope SuperDove cubesat imagery. Cubesats, which are small, inexpensive imaging satellites about the size of a shoebox, are launched on a regular basis.
