Plan or schedule for satellite flyovers

[seges-datascience (SEGES data science team)]

Is there a way to calculate or reliably predict the time and date a satellite will flyover a specific geographic location and take an image? Or does SentinelHub keep a list with dates for scheduled flyovers?

This is in relation to selecting dates in order to schedule agricultural measurements on the same dates as a satellite image can be expected.

In the EO Learn browser we sense there might be a pattern in the flyover dates, however this pattern is not consistent when we go further back in time.

Any suggestions or knowledge shared on this topic is much appreciated

Hello,

Sentinel Hub does not have this information on hand, but there are a couple potentially useful sources that I can think of:

• For Sentinel-2, there is a KML published with the planned SENTINEL-2 acquisitions in the next 10-15 days: Sentinel-2 Acquisition Plans - Sentinel Online - Sentinel Online
• Same for Sentinel-1: Acquisition Segments - Sentinel-1 - Sentinel Online - Sentinel Online
• For Landsat, USGS have a similar tool: Landsat Acquisition | Landsat Missions
• ESA’s Orbital Prediction and Overpass Tool (OPOT) generates and visualizes satellite’s overpasses: https://evdc.esa.int/orbit/

If anyone knows of more sources, it would be great to post them here
