Soar Atlas
A public gallery of maps, including open satellite layers from other programs.
Published by Soar.
In short
Soar Atlas is the public map gallery at soaratlas.com. A request to soar.earth redirects there. On 16 Oct 2026 the gallery opened without an account and listed fresh maps, including Planet-credited flood layers and a Vantor Open Data Program layer for Hurricane Simon in Mexico. That map page dated the image 14 Oct 2026 and printed a 34 cm pixel resolution. No subscription price was on the gallery or the map page. A layer is someone else's observation, with that source's date, not a live camera and not a person.
Product pricing strategy
02
Free
The Soar Atlas gallery and the Hurricane Simon map page, both opened on 16 Oct 2026, did not print a subscription price, a credit pack, or a checkout. A sign-in control and an upload control were visible. This listing does not invent a fee for either one. If a later account screen shows a price, quote that screen. The title's free-imagery line is the site's own wording, not a grant you can paste onto a Vantor or Planet file.
Utility and features
03
soaratlas.com presented itself as Soar Atlas on 16 Oct 2026. A request to soar.earth returned a 301 to that host. The public gallery did not ask for an account. Cards on the first screen included a Conflict Mapping note about possible damage in Dhahran, several Hurricane Simon layers credited to the Vantor Open Data Program, and flood layers credited to Planet, including the Bhote Koshi–Trishuli outburst flood and debris flooding in Nepal. The page offered filters for map type and category, a GIF toggle, and rows labeled latest, recommended, live maps, daily maps, and disasters.
- soar.earth now opens Soar Atlas. On 16 Oct 2026 soar.earth returned a 301 to soaratlas.com, and that host used the Soar Atlas name.
- A gallery, not a constellation. Cards credited Planet, the Vantor Open Data Program, and other publishers. Soar did not describe its own satellite.
- No price on the pages opened. The gallery and one map page showed sign-in and upload, and they did not show a fee.
The Hurricane Simon map page credited the Vantor Open Data Program, said the image date was 14 Oct 2026 at 4:15 PM local time, and printed a pixel resolution of 34 cm. It also said the data layer is from an external source. A sign-in control and an upload control were on the page. Neither the gallery nor that map page printed a fee. The site title says free satellite imagery. That line is not a license. Read the source named on the map before you reuse the file.
- 1
Open soaratlas.com and read the source credit on the map before you treat the picture as evidence.
- 2
Record the image date printed on the map. The Hurricane Simon page said 14 Oct 2026.
- 3
Do not copy the site title's free-imagery line into a license note. Read the source program.
- 4
Use Planet, Vantor, or a SAR listing when you need to order a new collect instead of browsing a published map.
Caveats
04
Each map names a source. The Hurricane Simon layer said the data is from an external source and credited the Vantor Open Data Program. A Planet credit on a flood card is Planet's layer inside Soar, not a Planet Insights Platform login. The license is the source's license. Soar's page did not restate it.
A 34 cm resolution is that layer's printed figure, not a face and not every map in the gallery. The default gallery is whatever was fresh that day. A place missing from the first screen is not proof the atlas has no map of it, and it is not a tasking desk. You cannot order a new satellite pass from the gallery this listing opened.

Potential use cases
06
- You need a published disaster map and you do not have a commercial console. Open soaratlas.com. On 16 Oct 2026 the gallery showed Planet-credited flood layers and Vantor Open Data Program layers without asking for an account. Open the map and read the source credit and the image date before you cite it. The Hurricane Simon page dated its image 14 Oct 2026 and printed 34 cm. That date is the picture, not the day you viewed the gallery.
- A note calls Soar a satellite operator because the gallery is full of imagery. The cards credited other programs. Say Soar Atlas is the gallery and name the source on the map. A Vantor open-data layer inside Soar is not a Vantor contract order, and a Planet credit is not a Planet Insights Platform login. If you need a new collect, leave the gallery and use the operator or the reseller that actually tasks.
- Someone wants to republish the picture because the site title says free satellite imagery. The Hurricane Simon page said the layer is from an external source. The gallery did not print a license that overrides the source. Read the Vantor or Planet program named on the card. A sign-in control was visible, and no fee was. Do not invent a subscription to explain the control, and do not treat the missing fee as a grant to resell the file.
Hard cases
The case where the first result is easy to over-read.
The gallery's first row is treated as the whole atlas
The first screen on 16 Oct 2026 was a 'freshly added' row, with filters for type, category, and disasters. A place that is not on that row may still have a map, and a place that is on it may be a historical soils sheet rather than a new satellite frame. Open the map, read the credit and the date, and say which one you have. The gallery is not a tasking desk and not a substitute for the source program's own terms.
Questions
Is Soar Atlas free?

Does Soar fly its own satellite?
The maps opened here were credited to other programs, including Planet and the Vantor Open Data Program. The site did not describe a Soar constellation.
