Archive search in Pera Portal: scene results with date, sensor, price and cloud cover beside a map with a selected footprint drawn against the area of interest.
Archive search in Pera Portal, with a scene footprint drawn against the area of interest.

Archive

Buy the capture that already exists

Search what 100+ satellites have already taken over your area, read each scene on its own numbers, and buy only the ones that answer the question. Often delivered within hours.

From search to delivery, in the order it happens

01Area and date range

Draw the area or pick one you saved, then set the window. The search runs across the suppliers we hold agreements with, so finding out what exists does not mean an account per operator.

02Read the scene, not the thumbnail

Every result carries the fields in the table below, so the decision happens before the money does.

03Preview it over your own site

Any result can be drawn on the map against your area, so you can see where the footprint falls and where the cloud sits. Scenes that miss the part of the site you care about get dropped instead of bought.

04Order what is left

The scenes you keep go to the cart and are ordered together. An archive order has nothing to wait for in orbit, so it is often delivered within hours.

Every scene shows its numbers before you pay

On the resultWhy it matters
Acquisition date and UTC timeWhether the scene is recent enough for the question you are answering.
SensorWhich satellite took it, linked to its specification page.
ResolutionWhat you will actually be able to see, from 30 cm to 2 m.
Off-nadir angleHow obliquely it was captured. Lower is truer to the map.
Cloud coverHow much of the scene is cloud before you commit to it.
Coverage of your AOIIn km² and as a percentage, so partial scenes are obvious.
Rate per km²The price, on the result itself, before anything goes in a cart.

Coverage

Archive across 100+ satellites at resolutions from 30 cm to 2 m, plus open data that is searchable in the same place: Sentinel-2, Landsat, and NAIP.

A processed scene

Archive orders run through the same automated chain as everything else: ortho correction, alignment, pansharpening, colour balancing, and mosaicing. That work is inside the per-km² rate rather than billed on top.

Delivery you can point a tool at

Deliveries are Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs. Download them, stream them as WMTS or XYZ tiles into QGIS or ArcGIS with an API key, or pull them from the STAC 1.0 catalogue.
