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.
If your AOI size exceeds these limits, split the AOI. If you still need help creating an order, contact support.
-
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.
| Collection | Coverage | Input | Cloud coverage | Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beijing-3A | Global* | AOI at least 2 km wide | 5–100% | AOI-clipped imagery |
| Beijing-3N | Global* | AOI at least 2 km wide | 5–100% | AOI-clipped imagery |
| BlackSky | Global | POI | 30–100% | Scene sized from 26 km2 to 33 km2 |
| Maxar | Global* | AOI from 50 km2 up to 1,000 km2, at least 2 km wide, with vertices spaced at least 2 meters apart | 15–50% | Primary data products: Full scenes Other data products: AOI-clipped imagery |
| Satellogic | Global | AOI at least 5 km wide | 0–100% | AOI-clipped imagery |

Within natural footprints, only the central 5 km × 5 km area maintains the selected resolution, while the surrounding areas might have artifacts that reduce quality. |
