Delivered Product Types

When Tasking, users can select the product types they would like to be processed and delivered for that Task via the productTypes parameter.

The available delivered product types and associated file extensions are:

Product Type	File Extension	Description
METADATA	stac.v2.json	Human readable file describing the SAR collection and image parameters. Collect Metadata Schema
METADATA	json	DEPRECATED. Canopy Collect Metadata defined by schema Get Schema.
CPHD	cphd	Compensated Phase History Data. Binary file containing the receive echo data prior to image formation. CPHD Specification
SICD	nitf	Sensor Independent Complex Data. Slant-plane SAR image that preserves the magnitude and phase for derived SAR image products. SICD Specification
SIDD	nitf	Sensor Independent Detected Data. Ground-plane SAR image optimized for viewing and discards SAR image phase information. SIDD Specification
GEC	tif	Geocoded Ellipsoid Corrected to WGS-84. SAR image viewable with common image viewer applications. Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG).
CSI SIDD	nitf	Color Single Image Sensor Independent Detected Data. Provides clarity and context to spot objects like buildings in a forest or cars moving on a field. Delivered as a SIDD file.
CSI TIFF	tif	Color Single Image TIFF. Convert a single-look image into 3 sub-aperture images to produce a single, scaled Red-Green-Blue (RGB) output image. Delivered as a TIF.
DI GIF	gif	SAR Movie. Multiple sub-images make up one Extended Dwell collection. The smaller images are then strung together like a "video," which can provide interpretable data like vehicle heading and speed. Delivered as a GIF.
CRSD	.crsd.zip	The CRS-D (Compensated Receive Signal Data) is a National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) proposed standard format for raw radar (SAR) signals, aiming to make data from different sensors interchangeable for processing, especially by detecting and managing radio frequency interference (RFI) before full image formation. It's part of NGA's broader effort to create Sensor Independent Formats (SIFs) like SICD (Complex) and CPHD (Phase History), enabling easier data sharing and analysis across various systems and sensors, with tools like SarPy and SIX supporting these standards.
