Cancellation Timing

For area task requests which require multiple collects to cover the area of interest, the cancellation deadline is determined by the very first collect. You can cancel the area task request up to three (3) hours before the first collect takes place.

Once the three-hour cancellation deadline has passed for the very first collect, the area tasking request can no longer be cancelled. All data products will be acquired & delivered, and the full order value will be charged. If the area task request is automatically rescheduled by the tasking system, the cancellation deadlines reset.

All cancellations are subject to our cancellation policy.
