Improved tasking flow, advanced processing capabilities, new collections in the catalog, and more

We're constantly shipping new updates that make ordering, managing, and processing geospatial data easier. From significant enhancements to subtle tweaks, here's a recap of the latest features that have gone live on our platform.

Revamped tasking flow with enhanced order status and delivery tracking

We released a new tasking flow last year that significantly improved the way our customers task satellites. Since then, we’ve continued to refine our tasking offering, enabling you to track tasking orders better.

When you click on a tasking order, you could previously view the footprint of acquired scenes. Now you get a visual representation of the percentage of the already completed order and the option to download the remaining and covered AOI as KML files. This allows for better and faster internal decision-making while dealing with complex orders.

In addition to viewing the list of available collections and pricing upfront, you can filter this list by Data type and Resolution. Expect more filters with specific collection information, such as geometric and radiometric processing levels and stereo capabilities.

Effortless geometry management and new collections in the catalog

Save time and effort when managing your geometries in the catalog—store AOIs in your library, modify names or coordinates, and delete or generate new AOIs using existing ones.

We also continue to enrich our platform with more diverse collections. Hexagon Elevation DSM (30 cm), as well as EROS-B (50 cm) and EROS-C (30 cm) optical satellite archive data from ISI, are now available on the platform. Place your order through the console or via our API.

Our sample data library is growing too: now with the additions from IMPRO (50 cm optical satellite imagery with mono, stereo, and tri-stereo capabilities), GEOSAT 1, and GEOSAT 2 (20 m and 40 cm optical satellite imagery, respectively).

Other platform updates

New notification subscription feature: When you work on tasking orders with multiple stakeholders, they must be able to receive and respond to order updates (like feasibility or price quotes). Toggle on notifications for specific workspaces that matter to you, and receive timely email alerts for relevant updates. Check out our documentation to learn more.

Improved visualizations: In your data management component, you can view, search, and filter all your STAC items on a map. We have also launched a new tiler service, making it easier to visualize and verify STAC assets—try it out with any band or delivery.

Last but not least, stay informed about the latest updates and improvements to our API and SDK, easily accessible through our documentation.

That’s all for now. We’ll be sure to reach out with more product updates soon.
