NEW: Enhanced order entry tools.

The "Earth Engine Resource Writer" IAM permissions are now beta supported in Google Cloud Projects. I.e., there is no longer a need to request these IAM roles from Google to enable your EE delivery from Planet today.

Strip orders are now enabled for Flexible, Monitoring and Order Lock-In Tasking Orders

• Surface Reflectance (SR) assets will now be published for all SkySat images (including archive), except where MODIS imagery did not overlap the SkySat AOI on the same day as capture. The SR assets will be available for both SkySatScene and SkySatCollect item-types, as the new asset-type ‘analytic_sr’. However note SR assets will not be available in Explorer or the Command Line Interface until the end of February.

• A new SkySat asset, the ‘basic_l1a_all_frames’ (aka All-Frames) is now available under the SkySatCollect item-type. This asset is published for all SkySat imagery dating back to October 2017. The All-frames asset includes all of the originally captured frames in a Collect, up to 50 frames per second, uncalibrated and in a raw digital number format. Delivered as a zip file containing all frames as basic L1A panchromatic DN imagery files, with accompanying RPC txt files, and a JSON pinhole camera model.

Users are now warned before reloading an order entry screen, to avoid losing inputs.
