Add Mission

** The orbit propagation begins at 00:00:00 UTC on the first day of the time span specified. The starting location of the spacecraft will be on the equator at the specified longitude.



** Calculated using the current date as the start date. This value will vary with starting date. Altitude may also differ from mission expectations due to the numerical model used.

** The orbit propagation begins at 00:00:00 UTC on the first day of the time span specified. Please ensure that the provided parameters are valid for that start time.

Add New Regions

Longitude/Latitude pairs should be provided in a sequential order using the following format: lon1 lat1, lon2 lat2, lon3 lat3. A minimum of 3 points is required to have a valid polygon.


Drawing mode will be activated when the 'Draw Region' button is pressed and the first click registers and deactivated when the right mouse button is pressed.

Upload a .kml or .zip shapefile package and convert the contents to COVE regions. Please ensure that all coordinates are in WGS84 (lon, lat).

Download a .png image containing the current map view. Image does not include nadir track.
Output CSV files contain headers and a list of all unique scenes. Options include a full metadata set or an abbreviated set. Both will include mission, predicted acquisition time, epoch, scene center, and orbit direction.
