hi @kevinchris  
👋 Welcome to the community.

That’s a good question that we don’t have the answer for.

`satellite-streets` comes from the mapbox service, but they don’t give any detail on their website about the exact details of the data: [What data sources does Mapbox use to build services? | Help | Mapbox](https://docs.mapbox.com/help/faq/what-data-sources-does-mapbox-use-to-build-its-services/)

> “ **Mapbox Satellite** : The imagery for Mapbox Satellite comes from a variety of sources, including commercial providers and open data from NASA, USGS, and others. The raw imagery is color-corrected to look realistic and blended together into a single raster tileset.”
