When creating a tasking order, consider the technical limitations of a given collection. Some collections also have a minimum charge that applies to orders smaller than a certain size.
If a tasking collection also provides catalog data, it might have different catalog limitations.
-
Coverage
This specifies the geographic areas that can be captured by ordering a given collection.
-
Input
This specifies the input geometry type for a collection. Collections using AOI input geometries can have maximum and minimum size limits. The bounding area refers to the total area within the bounding box that encloses a given AOI.
- Width (first value) corresponds to the east–west dimension.
- Height (second value) corresponds to the north–south dimension.
You can’t create an order if your AOI size exceeds these limits.
-
Cloud coverage
This specifies the maximum cloud coverage that can be selected for a collection.
The selected maximum cloud coverage can affect the price of a tasking order.
-
Output
This specifies how imagery will be delivered.
