Order catalog data

Create orders for existing geospatial data.


Overview

Catalog data is archive geospatial data that has been captured in the past.

Step 1. Get access

If you are ordering a certain catalog collection for the first time, complete the access steps.

  1. Select a collection

    Review the specifications of catalog collections and select a collection for ordering.

  2. Request access

    If you want to order the chosen collection for the first time, request access to the collection. Your request will be reviewed in up to 3 working days. You’ll get an email once a decision has been reached. You can review your access request status on the Access requests page.

    After you have access, you won’t need to request access again.

  3. Accept the EULA

    If you want to order the chosen collection for the first time, review and accept its end-user license agreement (EULA). If a EULA is updated, you need to re-accept it before creating your next order.

  1. Define a geometry

    1. Check limitations for catalog collections and the types of geometry the selected collections accept as input.
    2. Check that your geometry is valid for a catalog order.
    3. Open the console and go to Catalog inline-icon Catalog.
    4. Add your geometry.
  1. Configure search filters

    If you want to specify a date, maximum cloud coverage, or search for specific collections, click Filters to set up the following search parameters:

    • Collections: geospatial collections to be included in the search
    • Resolution: the resolution range of the collections to be included in the search
    • Acquisition date: an acquisition date range
    • Maximum cloud coverage: the maximum percentage of clouds covering a scene, from 0 to 100

  1. Preview scenes

    To expand a collection, click Expand inline-icon. You’ll see three scenes that intersect your geometry. To view more scenes from a collection, click See all images.

    Preview scenes in one of the following ways:

    • Geometry

      To check how the geometries of one or multiple scenes intersect your geometry, click Preview geometry inline-icon.

    • Quicklook

      To see a quicklook, open the scene by clicking on it. Not all collections have quicklooks. Some quicklooks may not fully match the scene they represent.

  1. Select data products

    1. Select a scene. Note asset delivery time.
    2. Select one or several data products.
    3. Check that the EULA checkbox is selected.
    4. Click Add to cart. If the button isn’t clickable, check the following:
    5. If needed, select and add data products from other scenes to your cart.

Step 3. Create an order

Credits will be deducted upon successful completion of the created catalog order. The transaction can’t be reversed.

  1. To view or remove the selected data products, click View cart.
  2. In the cart, view the selected data products and the total credits that will be deducted. To proceed, click Checkout. You won’t be charged at this step.
  3. In the order summary, specify the order name and tags. The tags are added to the order, delivered order assets, and the transaction history.
  4. Check the following:
    • Selected data products
    • Available credit balance
    • Total credits that will be deducted
    • Final credit balance
  5. To create the order, click Order for [the amount of] Credits.

Step 4. Monitor orders

Monitor the status and the readiness of your order.

Step 5. Download assets

The following statuses mean you can download assets from storage:

  • In progress: some order assets might have been delivered.
  • Completed: all order assets have been delivered.

Download delivered assets.
