Not live at that resolution, AFAIK.

Planet has the spatial resolution but not the temporal resolution.

NOAA has the temporal resolution but not the spatial resolution.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Planet has sub 10-cm resolution? That's surprising

50cm, not 10cm, but enough.

TBH I thought they had 15cm, but for human-scale large object monitoring (fires, traffic, construction) 50cm is enough.
