When placing a capture request on Aurora, you can select from the following timeline options. Uplift charges vary based on how soon the capture is needed. For Expedited, Critical, and Assured tasking, charges apply regardless of cloud cover.
| Type | Uplift | Days to Start Date | Capture Window |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flexible | 0% | N/A | 7 days or more |
| Expedited | 25% | N/A | 6 days or less |
| Critical | 40% | N/A | 2 days or less |
| Assured | 50% | 7 days or more | Specific date |
Important Notes
- Flexible captures do not incur any uplift and are scheduled with a broader lead time.
- Expedited, Critical, and Assured captures are charged irrespective of cloud cover. This means that even if the resulting image has cloud obstruction, the full amount will still be billed due to the prioritized scheduling and resource allocation required.
- Assured captures guarantee acquisition on a specific date with at least 7 days' notice.
These uplift tiers help prioritize satellite tasking and ensure timely delivery based on your needs. For optimal results and cost efficiency, select the timeline that best matches your urgency and tolerance for cloud cover.
