Today, satellite imagery is used as a layer of information in GIS that empowers users to make informed decisions, address complex challenges, and explore the Earth\u2019s surface. Whether you want to monitor volcanic activity, detect anomalies in deforestation, assess damage after natural disasters, or manage urban growth, satellite imagery is a powerful tool for mapping and visualizing the world.\r\n\r\nIn ArcGIS, satellite imagery supports a wide range of applications\u2014from observing different spectral bands on the electromagnetic spectrum to gathering images to observe change over time.

Accessing massive collections of satellite imagery has never been easier with the recently introduced EarthCache add-in for ArcGIS Pro that was developed in conjunction with Esri partner SkyWatch.\r\n\r\nIt can be daunting to sort through satellite imagery from a range of providers to find content that fits your needs. SkyWatch has simplified the process of procuring imagery content by bringing together data from a virtual constellation of more than 400 sensors from leading satellite, aerial, and high-altitude pseudo satellites (HAPS) imagery providers to amass one of the largest collections of remote sensing data in the world.\r\n\r\nSkyWatch makes accessing and integrating commercial satellite imagery intuitive and simple with its EarthCache platform. This solution enables you to browse large imagery archives for historical data or task satellites to capture new images of an area of interest. Since imagery data needs vary by use case, EarthCache makes it possible to log in, search for images, and buy what you need without worrying about minimum volume commitments or data license agreements.\r\n
