Troubleshooting

I’m not happy with the quality of the received tasking data

If the delivered data has quality issues, report this to the Operations team with the order ID within 7 days of data delivery to extend the tasking period, retask the order, or get a refund. For more information, see Credits refund policy.

Why is my imagery black?

If your imagery doesn’t appear as expected in an image viewer, the imagery probably has a higher bit depth per pixel than the viewer can render. To view the imagery, visualize it in QGIS.
