True Color and Color Infrared (Satellogic) Imagery for the California Fires May 2026

Dates of Images Post-Event: 5/21/2026 Summary Skysat is a high-resolution satellite constellation operated by Planet and allows for multiple viewing opportunities of any location on Earth daily. Skysat collects 4-band imagery which allows for multiple derived products to be produced. The True Color RGB composite provides a product of how the surface would look to the naked eye from space. The RGB is created using the red, green, and blue channels of the respective instrument. The Color Infrared composite is created using the near-infrared, red, and green channels. The near-infrared gives the ability to see through thin clouds. Healthy vegetation is shown as red, water is in blue. Resolution ~1 m Credits NASA Disasters Program, Processing from MSFC, Planet.

True Color: The True Color RGB composite provides a product of how the surface would look to the naked eye from space. The RGB is created using the red, green, and blue channels of the respective instrument. Color Infrared: The Color Infrared composite is created using the near-infrared, red, and green channels, allowing for the ability to see areas impacted from the fires. The near-infrared gives the ability to see through thin clouds. Healthy vegetation is shown as red, water is in blue.

Dates of Images: Post-Event: May 20, 2026; May 19, 2026 Pre-Event: May 7, 2026; April 20, 2026 Date of Next Image: None Summary: The True Color RGB composite provides a product of how the surface would look to the naked eye from space. The RGB is created using the red, green, and blue channels of the respective instrument. The Color Infrared composite is created using the near-infrared, red, and green channels. The near-infrared gives the ability to see through thin clouds. Healthy vegetation is shown as red, water is in blue. Suggested Use: The True Color RGB provides a product of how the surface would look to the naked eye from space. The True Color RGB is produced using the 3 visible wavelength bands (red, green, and blue) from the respective sensor. Some minor atmospheric corrections have occurred. A Color Infrared composite depicts healthy vegetation as red, water as blue. Some minor atmospheric corrections have occurred.
