Announcement Update: Public API Changes Scheduled to be Released 04 May 2026

This an announcement highlighting upcoming changes to the Capella Public API scheduled to be released on May 04, 2026. We are developing exciting enhancements to the POST /repeat-requests public API endpoints to add parameters that support the recently released InSAR product. This announcement includes detailed technical API specifications.

Key parameters that you need to understand are "collectionType", "collectionTier", and "orbit", "productTypes"

Expected values for proper InSAR tasking are as follows:

collectionType

[ stripmap_20, stripmap_50, stripmap_100, spotlight ]

collectionTier

[ insar ]

processingConfig.productTypes

[SLC]

insar.orbit

[ MIO_53_2P95, SSO_97_7P00 ]

Capella is the only InSAR solution combining a 53-degree mid inclination orbit with 97-degree sun synchronous orbit coverage delivering complementary viewing angles over the same area. This enables stronger separation of vertical and horizontal motion and reducing single-orbit assumptions with true deformation understanding.
