This tutorial is part 9 of the OSINT At Home series. It covers a common question that I get asked a lot, which is where I am getting my satellite imagery from. So I’ve made this tutorial on my four favourite satellite imagery sources and tools – and they’re all free. 

This tutorial may suit you if you are keen to learn a little bit more about how and where to find satellite imagery for free. We all know commercial imagery can be expensive, so getting it for free is quite helpful. 

If you are keen on learning more about geospatial intelligence (GEOINT), GIS, open source intelligence (OSINT), verification, geolocation or being able to visualise findings in research, journalism or movie making with satellite imagery, then you might find this tutorial helpful.

For those that don’t want to watch the whole video, below I have broken this tutorial down into chapters:

00:53 – Google Earth Pro (https://www.google.co.uk/earth/downlo...)

04:18 - Sentinel Hub (https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/sentine...)

08:11 - Zoom Earth (https://zoom.earth/) NOTE: Zoom Earth has updated imagery availability, use https://satellites.pro/ for clear hi-res satellite imagery instead. 

11:08 - World Imagery Wayback (https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/wayback)

The OSINT At Home series is useful for those looking to find digital breadcrumbs and pick up some methods of open source intelligence (OSINT), digital investigations and good old plain research. No matter who you are, or where you are in the world, you can follow these tutorials from home with publicly available information to answer questions such as who, what, where and when.
