Planet Satellite Imagery - Searching to Archiving Pipeline

Tools for managing Planet satellite imagery for stereoscopic DEM creation.

This repository is an end-to-end pipeline for searching for, ordering, downloading, ingesting, and archiving Planet satellite imagery at the Polar Geospatial Center, with the goal of creating stereoscopic digital elevation models.
