Predict satellite overpass
The code below uses the Toolbox SDK, which you can install with pip install toolbox-sdk.
Additional Python examples: using SDK, using Requests. If you prefer other programming language or need full API reference, check out Toolbox OpenAPI as well.
Docs
The tool forms an XLSX file with the data on Aqua, Terra, S-NPP, NOAA 20, 21, SENTINEL-1A, 1С, 2A, 2B, 2C, LANDSAT 8, 9 satellites passing over an area of interest in a selected period of time.
Inputs:
Area of interest - vector file with a polygon in GDAL-supported format, e.g. GeoPackage, GeoJSON, MapInfo TAB, ESRI Shapefile (the last two - in ZIP-archive). The area of the polygon should be no less than 200 sq. km.
Start date - date of the beginning of an observation. Should be in yyyy-mm-dd format.
End date - date of the end of an observation. Should be in yyyy-mm-dd format.
Note
The restriction about minimum size of the polygon is based on the high speed of satellite fly and the frequency of requests about its position (every 5 seconds). Therefore, the bigger the area of interest, the more complete will be information about satellite overpass.
Output:
XLSX file with the date and time of the satellite overpasses.
