The geographic coverage is global.
The tasking capabilities of this collection might require a feasibility study. 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 activation request stage after creation:
- Minimum interval: At least 30 days
- Acquisition mode: Mono
- Maximum cloud coverage: Up to 10% or 20%
- Incidence angle: From 20% to 50%
- Priority: Standard
In a standard delivery, an IMG_ directory contains imagery and uses file naming conventions to indicate the spectral processing of the delivered data product.
