Overview

EarthCache, powered by SkyWatch, is the easiest way to access satellite imagery. The EarthCache platform aggregates data from multiple satellite and remote sensing providers, and allows users to search for and procure the data they need through one simple UI. EarthCache’s transparent pricing and pay-as-you-use (PAYU) model ensures that users only pay for the AOI they need, and we’ve negotiated preferred commercial terms and lower minimums with our providers.

Satellite imagery is critical to many ArcGIS Pro customers, but has historically been challenging to acquire, requiring negotiation and maintenance of contracts with multiple providers, and receiving imagery that’s not compatible with native usage in ArcGIS Pro.

The Satellite Imagery for ArcGIS add-in, powered by EarthCache, enables ArcGIS Pro customers to create an order with any of our providers and open imagery right within their ArcGIS instance. EarthCache supports a number of paths to access imagery, including streaming services or download. 

The Satellite Imagery for ArcGIS add-in enables you to:

• Bring multiple data types and sources, including Planet and Airbus datasets, into your ArcGIS workflows.
• Access the robust EarthCache archive, or task new images, without leaving ArcGIS.
• Access free, low-resolution imagery from leading open sources.
• Minimize costs with SkyWatch's transparent, pay-as-you-use pricing.
• Leverage all the capabilities of ArcGIS Pro, including imagery analysis, comparison, and visualizations. 
• Using your Esri Suite, publish directly in ArcGIS Online or easily save your data where you need it for your analytical and sharing needs.*
