Catalog search and order
You can search for data in our catalog based on the images’ metadata. SatVu follows the STAC specification and therefore enables a variety of search parameters.
The following table shows the search parameters available in different interfaces:
Parameter | API | Python SDK | Web app |
---|---|---|---|
Geometry | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
Supported spatial relationship | Intersects | Intersects | Intersects |
Geometry types (as per https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7946#section-3.1) | Point, MultiPoint, Linestring, Multilinestring, Polygon, Multipolygon | Point, MultiPoint, Linestring, Multilinestring, Polygon, Multipolygon | Point, Polygon |
Date range | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
Catalog scene identifier | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
Cloud coverage | ✅ | ✅ | |
Off-nadir angle | ✅ | ✅ | |
Ground sample distance | ✅ | ✅ | |
Azimuth angle | ✅ | ✅ | |
Sun elevation angle | ✅ | ✅ | |
Sun azimuth angle | ✅ | ✅ |
In addition to search parameters, a user can specify sorting rules and the number of items to return in a single query.
Image thumbnail and preview
Every catalog scene has an associated preview and a thumbnail image made visible through the SatVu web app. These are provided to give you an understanding of how the data will look and are not georeferenced. The thumbnail might be particularly useful in cases where there is partial cloud coverage in an image and you want to be sure this doesn’t obscure your area of interest.
Previews will appear on the map when you select an image in the sidebar or click on the corresponding footprint (outlined in yellow).

Placing a catalog order
Once you’ve searched the catalog and identified scenes that you are interested in, you can order them. You can specify up to 100 scenes in a single order.
Catalog data delivery is almost immediate. We don’t have catalog order statuses - as soon as you place an order, you get access to the requested data.
Cancelling an order
Currently, SatVu platform does not provide the functionality to cancel an order. Any request to cancel an order must be communicated through the customer success team. Please write an email with your cancellation order request to the following email address support@satellitevu.com and include your order and contract IDs.
