Improvements 🙌🏻¶

Customers can now use geometries with up to 1500 vertices in both Explorer and the Orders API.

• If a geometry that is larger than 1500 vertices is provided, you will get a prompt in Explorer to simplify.

Improvements 🙌🏻¶

Composite orders with multiple product bundles are no longer supported

To ensure a more streamlined process and reduce the occurrence of failures, we have decided to discontinue support for composite orders that contain multiple product bundles. This change prevents downstream failures, resulting in a more efficient and reliable process. Going forward, users cannot submit composite orders with multiple product bundles, but must submit only one order per product bundle.

New ✨¶

Orders API now supports Planet Basemaps

With the Orders API, users can now apply raster tools like clip, bandmath, reproject, and merge to Planet Basemaps, and have them delivered along side with sourcetrace and UDM2 metadata to Planet’s support cloud storage locations.

Customers who have a plan that enables access to Planet Basemaps can take advantage of this new feature. NICFI Basemaps can only be ordered from the Orders API by those with Level 2 NICFI access.

Improvements 🙌🏻¶

Harmonization with Sentinel-2 with the Orders Harmonization tool.

With the Sentinel-2 target sensor, the Orders Harmonize tool harmonizes PSScene surface reflectance bundle types to Sentinel-2 radiometry.

Improvements 🙌🏻¶

The panchromatic Usable Data Masks (UDM2) asset is now available in SkySatScene bundles.

The panchromatic Usable Data Masks (UDM2) asset type basic_panchromatic_udm2 is now available in SkySatScene basic_panchromatic and basic_panchromatic_dn bundles.
