Tasking with Vessel Classification using the API

Use the Capella Tasking API to request SAR collections with Vessel Classification analytics by specifying the VC product type.

To include Vessel Classification on a tasking request, submit using the /task API endpoint with a payload tag specifying Vessel Classification ("VC" is the product code).

Details on how to make a tasking request are found in the Tasking API documentation. 

Vessel classification is added to a tasking request using the following syntax. Note: the "productTypes" field accepts multiple analytics for the same tasking request. 

"processingConfig": { "productTypes": ["VC"] }

Notes:

  • Window open and window close must adhere to the minimum collection windows for the specified collection tier.
  • Coordinates are in (lon, lat) order
  • Collection Type must be either "spotlight", "spotlight_ultra", or "stripmap".

A full payload example is shown below.
