Tasking Ordering Workflow

Steps: (1) Offerings search → (2) Cost calculation → (3) Create order. Keep AOI & dates/interval consistent across steps. Use future dates; minimum tasking window 7 days.

  • Place taskings at least 2 days before start to allow provider scheduling/cancellation if needed.
  • min_aoi_coverage_percentage typically ≤ 85% for fulfillment; providers treat ~80–85% (clouds count against coverage) as complete.
  • Output must be geotiff with platform output id; set mosaic unstitched for tasking.
