In this monthly piece, we give our readers a sense of the high-resolution imagery coverage collected over a specific geography during a three month window. To do this, we pick a high resolution satellite, a defined time period and area of interest, then report key statistics on the total amount of imagery collected in square kilometers (sq km). Without further delay, let’s jump into our analysis.

Land Mass Covered: 19,411,382.6 sq km
Time Period: May 1 to July 31, 2013
High Resolution Satellite: Pléiades 1
United States & Canada Pléiades 1 Imaging Statistics
Total Area Collected: 5,346,465.0 sq km; 58,113.7 sq km per day
Area Collected @ 20% or Less Clouds & 30 Degrees Off-Nadir: 3,657,240.9 sq km; 39,752.6 sq km per day; 68.4% of total
