Create catalog orders

Overview

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

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

Select a collection

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