Introduction

This section will guide you through searching for various geospatial data using the Catalog. On the left sidebar, two labels are displayed next to the images: Purchase and Processing.

The Purchase label (in green) returns only scenes available for purchasing and downloading via Storage. These images originate from all types of storage: long-term archive and online archive. The available data sources that can be purchased are displayed in the table below.

Data source
Pléiades
SPOT 6/7

The Processing label (in blue) returns images that can be used for downloading or further combined with a processing algorithm in workflows. These images originate from the online archive. The available data sources are displayed in the table below.

Data source
Pléiades
SPOT 6/7
Sentinel-1
Sentinel-2
Sentinel-3
Sentinel-5

For Pléiades and SPOT 6/7 data sources, more images have the label Purchase than Processing, since this category includes images from the long-term archive (LTA).
