Fresh Imagery, On Command
Archive imagery captures what the world looked like-not what it looks like now. When a disaster unfolds, a site is under construction, or an investigation demands current ground truth, you need a satellite pointed at your target on your schedule. Satellite tasking is the act of commissioning an operator to capture new imagery of a specific area of interest within a defined time window, at a resolution, sensor modality, and priority that match the mission.
Sentient Tasking brings a curated network of optical, SAR, and multispectral constellations-including Planet, ICEYE, Umbra, Satellogic, and more-into a single ordering interface. Draw an AOI on the map, upload GeoJSON or KML, set your cloud-cover threshold, pick a priority tier, and receive analytics-ready imagery in as little as 24 hours. No separate vendor contracts. No juggling portals.
The Process
Define Area of Interest
Draw a polygon on the map, upload GeoJSON or KML, or paste coordinates. Set cloud-cover tolerance, acquisition window, and preferred sun elevation.
Select Sensor & Resolution
Choose optical for natural-color detail, SAR for all-weather day-or-night capture, or multispectral for vegetation and spectral analysis. Specify GSD from 30cm to multi-meter.
Set Priority & Schedule
Pick Standard (3–14 days) for cost-efficient captures, Priority (24–72 hours) for time-sensitive work, or Urgent for disaster response. Our engine books the first satellite that meets your constraints.
Capture & Quality Control
Tasked satellites execute the acquisition on the next valid pass. Every scene is automatically screened for cloud cover, off-nadir angle, and radiometric integrity before delivery.
Analytics-Ready Delivery
Orthorectified, georeferenced imagery lands in your workspace or API endpoint. Pipe it directly into Sentient monitoring products-OSD, BIOM, Wildfire, HAB-or your own analytics stack.
Key Features
Unified Multi-Provider Access
One contract, one ordering flow, one billing relationship across optical, SAR, and multispectral constellations. Skip months of vendor onboarding.
Flexible Priority Tiers
Standard, Priority, and Urgent delivery windows-from budget-friendly 3–14 day fulfillment to 24-hour emergency tasking for disaster response and time-critical intelligence.
Optical + SAR, Day or Night
Pair optical imagery with Synthetic Aperture Radar to see through clouds, smoke, and darkness. Ideal for monitoring fires, floods, and conflict zones in any conditions.
Built for Construction, Defense & Response
Purpose-built tasking workflows for recurring infrastructure monitoring, persistent surveillance, compliance tracking, and rapid disaster assessment.
Transparent Pricing
Per-scene pricing with clear tiers by resolution and modality-no hidden volume commitments. Starting at around $300 for a 25 km² 50cm optical capture.
API & Platform Integration
Order programmatically via REST API or through the Sentient web platform. Imagery flows directly into your analytics workflows the moment it's ready.
