Illustrated, step-by-step guides and answers for every tool in the planner. Search below, or pick a tool to open its walkthrough and FAQ.
Define your area of interest by drawing, country pick, quick-square or uploading a file — then edit, and it auto-saves.
Browse and select the EO catalog by operator, constellation and satellite; filter by sensor and orbit chips; set per-satellite color or track visibility.
Find every satellite overpass of your area, with footprint geometry and timing.
Simulate how a constellation is tasked to cover your AOI within off-nadir limits.
Judge acquisition viability with cloud-cover and clear-sky charts over your AOI.
Estimate end-to-end image delivery time from capture to user across the pipeline.
Run several satellites or constellations against one AOI and rank them by a weighted score (revisit, coverage, latency) to pick the best option.
Sweep the AOI as a grid and compute a metric per cell — coverage, revisit, clear-sky or latency — then read it as a heatmap and export.
Watch live satellite positions and ground tracks on the 2D map, or switch to the 3D globe for sensor cones, time controls and pass animation.
PassPrediction has three access tiers — free (anonymous), registered, and paid — plus an API-key tier for programmatic access and the QGIS plugin.
