Frequency of images before and after Sentinel 1B's failure

Hi,

You are correct that it is likely to cost more PUs if you are downloading every single image if your time period is before the failure of Sentinel-1B. However, your processing units are also affected by the processing that you apply to the data.

There is some more information about this in our FAQs. It’s important to note that batch processing divides your PU cost by 3, as it’s only a third of the price of processing API. So your 500 requests would cost 63 578 / 3 = 21 192 PU. As I’m sure you know, Batch Processing API is only available to Enterprise users.

To help you with calculating this, I would suggest utilising our Catalog API which will be able to provide you with the number of acquisitions over your area of interest in your time period.

Let us know if you need any more assistance 🙂
