Other satellites

Are you planning to add other satellites such as S1 or can others update or add the data? Is there a way/format for that? I suppose to have similar pairings -it would be more helpful to extract data for same lat long as the one already added?

Hello @crinistad !

Major TOM Core will indeed include Sentinel-1 data, in the form of radiometrically terrain corrected (vv and vh) patches. We are extracting as many images as we can that lie as close in time as possible to the S2 images in this dataset. Time-series of these SAR images would be ideal but for the first version it will likely be monotemporal.

A huge future priority for us is also to find a way to get SLC data into the system as well, but non-reprojected SLC data is much more tricky to work with.

And about your question on whether others can add data: Yes please!

There doesn't have to only be one SAR dataset, either. The more data the merrier, as far as we're concerned!

We foresee in the coming weeks that we will likely need to better specify the exact requirements for a Major TOM dataset, so that people such as yourself can add to the project. In order to come up with those specifications, we want to do some community organising to decide on these things together. Stay tuned for more info!

thank you for replying. I think that would be extra helpful. I would like to add additional data because I want to use data from more than one satellite.
