| Specification | Description |

| Limitations | Input: AOI calculated using projected-WGS84, from 5 km2, and at least 5 km wide (maximum bounding area for high priority orders: 50 km × 120 km) Cloud coverage, depending on the priority:
Output: AOI-clipped imagery |
| Minimum charge | As per 100 km2 |
| Specification | Description |

| Limitations | Input: AOI calculated using projected-WGS84, depending on the asset delivery time:
Availability: From 2012 Output: AOI-clipped imagery |
The geographic coverage is global.
All catalog imagery is available within 24 hours, but a subset is available within 10 minutes:
- 10 minutes: Available for some low cloud coverage scenes with a minimum AOI size of 0.1 km2.
- 24 hours: Available for all scenes with a minimum AOI size of 1 km2.
When searching for data, a scene may appear twice, once for each asset delivery time. To benefit from the smaller minimum AOI and faster delivery, check the delivery time and select the 10-minute option.
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:
- Maximum AOI: 100 km × 120 km (width × height)
- Minimum interval: 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 interval: At least 60 days
In a standard delivery, an IMG_ directory contains imagery and uses file naming conventions to indicate the spectral processing of the delivered data product.
