Domain knowledge for Earth Imagery — workflow patterns, data models, and gotchas for your AI agent.

NASA — Earth Imagery (EPIC)

DSCOVR’s EPIC instrument posts full-disc Earth photos on a cadence tied to spacecraft operations. Discover which UTC dates have coverage, then pull natural-color or false-color-enhanced composites for those instants.

Gotchas

  • Sparse archives: Not every calendar day has imagery—enumerate valid timestamps first.
  • Orbit context: EPIC sits at the Sun–Earth L1 point, so lighting and phase differ from LEO weather satellites.
