FAQ
Buying Satellite Imagery: Your Questions Answered
Where can I buy satellite imagery online?
You can buy satellite imagery online from XRTech Group through its self-service satellite imagery portal, with no login needed to search. Draw or upload your area of interest, choose archive or new tasking, and see coverage and an indicative price in seconds. Our team confirms a firm quote within 1.5 hours, and archive imagery is delivered within 48 hours of approval.
How much does it cost to buy satellite images?
At XRTech Group, archive satellite images cost from $1/km² at 2m to $20/km² at 30cm. New tasking costs from $2/km² at 2m and $8/km² at 51cm to 80cm for standard collection, up to $80/km² for emergency capture at 30cm. Stereo is 2× the mono price, and cloud cover or viewing angle limits add a published uplift. There is no subscription: you pay per km².
What is the minimum order for satellite imagery?
The minimum order is 25 km² for archive imagery at every resolution and 100 km² for new tasking, with a minimum strip width of 5 km. The smallest archive order, 25 km² at 2m, costs $25 in total. If your area is smaller, we review it and recommend the most cost-effective option.
What is high-resolution satellite imagery?
High-resolution satellite imagery is optical imagery with a ground sample distance of about 1m or finer per pixel, so buildings, roads and vehicles are clearly visible. Commercial satellites now capture 25cm to 30cm detail, while free satellites such as Sentinel-2 and Landsat capture 10m to 30m pixels.
How long does it take to receive satellite imagery?
XRTech Group delivers archive imagery within 48 hours of order approval. New tasking is captured within 7 days for standard collection, 3 to 5 days for priority and immediately for emergency, with delivery within 24 hours of capture. Elevation models are delivered in under 21 days.
How much does satellite imagery cost by satellite?
Archive prices per km²: SuperView Neo-1 (25cm to 30cm) and Beijing-3B (30cm) $20; SuperView-2 (42cm), SuperView-1, SuperView Neo-3 and Beijing-3A (50cm) $13; GF-7, GF-2 and TripleSat (65cm to 80cm) $5; GF-1, GF-6 and ZY-3 (2m) $1. New tasking costs $30, $20, $8 and $2 per km² for the same tiers. The sharpest option is 25cm from SuperView Neo-1 03 and 04.
Can I get free satellite imagery instead?
Yes, at medium resolution. Sentinel-2 (10m) and Landsat (15m to 30m) imagery is free and suits regional land and vegetation studies. To see buildings, vehicles or site detail you need commercial high-resolution imagery, which starts at $1/km² at 2m and $20/km² at 30cm.
Can I buy satellite imagery for any country?
Yes. XRTech Group's 130+ satellites cover every country, and we supply high-resolution imagery worldwide without US export licence delays. Archive data is available back to 1999, and new tasking can be scheduled for any location on Earth.
Can I get real-time satellite imagery?
No commercial satellite streams live video of a location. The closest option is emergency tasking: a satellite is tasked immediately and the image is delivered within 24 hours of capture. For many sites, a recent archive image from the last few days is also available and can be delivered within 48 hours.
Can I buy a satellite image of my house?
Yes. Draw your property in the satellite imagery platform and buy a recent archive image of the area. The minimum order is 25 km², so your house and surroundings are included from $25 at 2m or $500 at 30cm, where roofs, cars and gardens are clearly visible.
Can satellite imagery show property lines?
Satellite imagery shows visible boundaries such as fences, walls, roads and field edges, and orthorectified 30cm to 50cm imagery is accurate enough to check them against plans. Legal property lines come from cadastral surveys, so we can overlay your parcel data or support a land survey.
