Planet Select: A Simplified Way to Order High-Resolution Satellite Imagery, Powered by SkyFi

Planet Labs PBC has rebranded Single Order Tasking to Planet Select. The update introduces a streamlined experience for accessing SkySat® Tasking and SkySat Archive through a platform developed by SkyFi using the same foundation as its own intuitive interface.

From Single Order Tasking to Planet Select

The previous Single Order Tasking portal allowed customers to order individual SkySat captures. Planet Select expands that concept. The platform now includes both new image tasking and historical archive satellite imagery access, all through a single interface.

The rebrand reflects Planet’s goal to make satellite data easier to access and use. It is designed for organizations or individuals who need high-resolution imagery for research, monitoring, or operational planning but prefer a transactional, pay-as-you-go model.

New Capability: Access to the SkySat Archive

A key update in Planet Select is access to the SkySat Archive, a large collection of past imagery available on demand. Users can search for existing satellite images covering their area of interest, compare data across multiple years, and analyze visible change without requesting a new task.

The archive option gives customers an efficient path to historical satellite imagery that supports long-term analysis, project verification, and situational reference.

How Planet Select Works

The Planet Select process is designed for clarity and speed.

1. Log In or Create an Account Access the Planet Select portal, define your Area of Interest (AOI) using the map, or upload GeoJSON or KML files.

2. Order Imagery: Archive or Task New Choose from the archive or request a new capture. Review cloud cover, dates, and resolution before checkout.

3. Checkout and Download Complete your order online and receive your imagery via the SkyFi interface. Archive data is delivered immediately. New tasking is completed within your selected capture window.

Imagery is available in GeoTIFF, PNG, and metadata formats for direct use in standard geospatial tools.
