Doesn't NASA have a dedicated satellite with API access for this type of data? (Monitoring weather, tracking deforestation, crop changes, etc). I believe its called VIIRS

I recall seeing it on mark robers "is nasa a waste of money" video here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lARpY0nIQx0&vl=en

Does planet.com use that data or the company you have in mind use it?

They have an array of their own satellites that circle the earth and get an aggregate photo of the entire planet about once every 24 hours.
