What are Capella's custom parameters?

The earliest user-defined date when acquisition can occur. Image acquisition can begin any time after the Window Open time up to the Window Close time.

The latest user-defined date when acquisition can occur. Image acquisition must occur no later than the Window Close time which effectively sets the tasking request expiration date.

The user-defined time when acquisition can occur. Image acquisition can be set to occur only at night (6pm to 6am local time), during the day (6am to 6pm local time), or anytime. In the API, this parameter is called localTime.

Whether spacecraft is looking Left or Right with respect to its velocity vector during image acquisition. Also available for Standard and Extended products tasking. 

Whether the spacecraft is on the Ascending (South to North) or Descending (North to South) orbit during image acquisition. Also available for Standard and Extended products tasking. 

Minimum angle between the sub-satellite point and the collect center point from the satellite to the target. Based on the full accessible look angle range of the Capella radar the smallest possible look angle is 5°. 

Maximum angle between the sub-satellite point and the collect center point from the satellite to the target. Based on the full accessible look angle range of the Capella radar the largest possible look angle is 50°.

The radar system imaging mode (e.g. spotlight, sliding spotlight, stripmap).

Desired image scene length. This parameter is only customizable for the Stripmap imaging mode.

Desired image scene width. This parameter is only customizable for the Stripmap imaging mode.

Minimum ground range resolution of the resulting image.

Maximum ground range resolution of the resulting image.

Minimum azimuth resolution of the resulting image. Modification of this parameter impacts the resolution of the SLC and GEO product types.

Maximum azimuth resolution of the resulting image. Modification of this parameter impacts the resolution of the SLC and GEO product types.

Number of looks used for multi-look processing in geocoded products. Users can select a number of looks smaller than Standard and Extended products. 

Minimum angle between the tangent plane to the Earth's surface and the ling of sight of the satellite as seen from the collect center point. Based on the full accessible look angle range of the Capella radar the smallest possible grazing angle is 30°. This parameter is API only. 

Maximum angle between the tangent plane to the Earth's surface and the ling of sight of the satellite as seen from the collect center point. Based on the full accessible look angle range of the Capella radar the largest possible grazing angle is 85°. This parameter is API only. 

Maximum clockwise angle with respect to North in a topocentric geodetic ENZ coordinate system from the target to the satellite. This parameter is available only in the API and the values can wrap around (i.e. minimum of 340 and maximum of 20). This parameter is API only.
