integrated catalog imagery 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 1 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. ### 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): 100 km × 120 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 | | `_P_` | Analytic panchromatic assets | | `_PMS_` | Pansharpened Reflectance assets Display assets |
