New
Scene-based imagery pricing
At this release, Capella will charge for imagery products based on a nominal scene size instead of on a per square-km basis. New tasking pricing will continue to key off of Tasking Tier and Imaging Mode properties, but will be calculated using a flat rate by scene for greater simplicity and consistency. The scene-based pricing applies to imagery purchases from the public archive as well. If you have any questions about this pricing structure, please reach out to your Account Executive, Customer Success Manager, or contact our Support team (support@capellaspace.com).
Nominal scene size by imaging mode:
| Imaging Mode | Nominal Scene Size |
| Spotlight | 5km x 5km |
| Sliding Spotlight | 5km x 10km |
| Stripmap | 5km x 20km |

- None (Default)
- Collected imagery is immediately added to the publicly available imagery archive
- 30-day Catalog Holdback
- Collected imagery is added to the publicly available imagery archive after a 30-day delay
- 1-year Catalog Holdback

Digital signature digest file
Capella now provides a way for customers to verify that that their data products have not been tampered with from the time of generation until the time of receipt by providing an additional digest file in JSON format. The digest file contains two cryptographic hashes (SHA-256 & MD5) for each of the data and metadata files generated. Like other assets, the manifest file can be downloaded individually and is also contained in the full asset bundle.
Documentation on how to use this new digest file can be found here.
