## Additional information

### Catalog delivery options

All integrated catalog imagery, except HD15, is available within a few days, with a minimum AOI size of 0.1 km2. A subset is available within 10 minutes:

- 10 minutes: Available for some low cloud coverage scenes with a minimum charge as per 0.1 km2.
- A few days: Available for all scenes with a minimum charge as per 5 km2.

When [searching for data](https://docs.up42.com/data/catalog-process#search), a scene may appear twice, once for each asset delivery time. To benefit from the lower minimum charge and faster delivery, [check the delivery time](https://docs.up42.com/data/delivery#checking) and select the 10-minute option.

HD15 has a minimum AOI size of 25 km2 with a [minimum charge](https://docs.up42.com/data/catalog-min-charges) as per 25 km2.

### Feasibility study automation

The tasking capabilities of this collection might require a [feasibility study](https://docs.up42.com/data/feasibility). However, a specific combination of parameter values bypasses that requirement. If input geometry limitations are met, an order with this combination will proceed to the [quotation stage](https://docs.up42.com/data/tasking-process#activation) after you’ve created it:

- [Maximum AOI](https://docs.up42.com/data/types): 25 km × 28 km (width × height)
- [Minimum acquisition window](https://docs.up42.com/data/acquisition#minimum): At least 30 days
- Acquisition mode: Mono
- Maximum cloud coverage: 10% or higher
- Incidence angle: From 20° to 50°

To keep acquisition difficulty low with an automated feasibility study, set the following parameters:

- [Minimum acquisition window](https://docs.up42.com/data/acquisition#minimum): At least 60 days

### Delivery structure

In a standard delivery, an `IMG_` directory contains imagery and uses file naming conventions to indicate the spectral processing of the delivered data product.

| Naming convention | Description                   |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------- |
| `_MS`             | Analytic multispectral assets |
| `_PAN`            | Analytic panchromatic assets  |
| `_PMS`            | Display assets                |
