Optional parameters available for repeat tasks
Customize repeat tasking in Capella Console with parameters like polarization, look angle, and scene framing—based on your repeat cycle.
For tasks submitted via Console, the Repeat Cycle of a repeat tasking request determines the available Optional Parameters you can set in order to increase the chance of individual tasks within a series being accepted by the Scheduler.
The Maintain Scene Framing option, for example, is intended to ensure geometrically similar collects within a Repeat series. Using this option for a repeat series occurring less than every two weeks by selecting Other as the Repeat Cycle may result in a higher number of task rejections. However, if you want to leverage these or any of the other Optional Parameters regardless of Repeat Cycle, please use the API.
