Archived or Fresh Satellite Tasking — You Choose
XRTech Group provides access to a substantial archive of high-resolution satellite imagery and download options, with data going back to 1999.
Archived Imagery is suitable for various applications including:
- Single-use purposes, such as obtaining high-quality images for media.
- Visual identification, such as locating specific objects.
- Creating base maps for applications like urban planning.
- Analyzing historical changes, such as tracking infrastructure development.
XRTech Group also provides the ability to request high-resolution satellite tasking to capture new imagery of a specific area of interest.
New Tasking is beneficial when:
- Images for a required time period are not available in the archive.
- Better AOI (Area of Interest) coverage is required.
- Archival imagery resolution is insufficient for the application.
- Regular monitoring and scheduled revisits of the area are required.
- Specific image types such as panchromatic or multispectral, are needed.
The satellites capture data in a range of spectral bands, including panchromatic, red, green, blue, and near-infrared (NIR), with some also offering purple, yellow, red edge, NIR1, and NIR2 bands.
Optical imagery options include panchromatic, multispectral, infrared, and hyperspectral. SAR imagery provides all-weather, day-and-night monitoring capabilities.
XRTech Group also provides value-added products, such as Digital Orthophoto Maps (DOM), Digital Surface Models (DSM/DEM), and 3D city models, enhancing the utility of the imagery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Satellite Imagery for Urban Planning
What resolution is best for urban planning projects?
For urban planning, very high-resolution imagery (0.3m to 0.5m) is generally recommended as it provides the detailed visual information needed to identify individual buildings, infrastructure, and land features crucial for precise planning and analysis.
Can I use this imagery for zoning or infrastructure reports?
Yes, our high-resolution satellite imagery is delivered in industry-standard formats (GeoTIFF, SHP, DWG) and is fully compatible with GIS and CAD software, making it ideal for zoning, infrastructure reports, and other official documentation.
How fast can I get tasking imagery delivered?
XRTech Group prides itself on fast turnaround times. New tasking imagery can often be delivered in under 7 days, even for large or remote areas, thanks to our extensive satellite constellation and efficient processing.
What are the licensing terms for shared team use?
We offer flexible, project-wide licensing that is publication-friendly and designed for collaborative teams. This ensures your entire team can utilize the data without restrictions on internal sharing or reporting.
Do you provide orthorectified or DEM-ready imagery?
Absolutely. All our high-resolution satellite imagery is delivered ortho-ready and optimized for analysis. We also provide Digital Elevation Model (DEM, DSM, DTM) data suitable for engineering and precise urban planning.
Key Challenges in Urban Planning and the Need of Satellite Imagery
Urban planning is more complex than ever because cities are growing fast, land is limited, and infrastructure must be safe, sustainable, and future-ready. Traditional survey methods can be slow, expensive, and hard to scale across large or evolving urban areas.
That’s where high-resolution satellite imagery comes in.
It helps planners, engineers, and local governments overcome key challenges, such as:
🏙 Rapid Urbanization: Monitor city expansion in real-time and avoid uncontrolled sprawl.
📐 Outdated or Incomplete Data: Get accurate and current data down to 30cm resolution for planning and modeling.
🧱 Unauthorized Construction: Identify illegal developments early with regular area revisits.
🌍 Environmental Impact: Track land use, water bodies, green cover, and pollution using multispectral imagery.
🏗 Infrastructure Risk and Deformation: Use SAR and InSAR data to detect bridge or road subsidence before damage occurs.
📊 Manual Surveys Delaying Progress: Cut time and cost with automated, large-scale area mapping from satellite.
With XRTech Group’s satellite solutions, you don’t just see the problem—you get the full picture, fast. Whether you’re managing growth, assessing risk, or building smarter cities, satellite imagery is the edge urban planners need today.
