Not terribly high-resolution, still nice to have a free source.

That is an understatement. Google maps satellite images are much, much higher resolution.

I could be mistaken, but I believe some of the higher res imagery is from airplanes.

Yep, Planet Labs uses tiny satellites. Their resolution advantage is temporal, not spatial.
