Best way to order PlanetScope data for many small scattered research sites?

Hi everyone,

I use PlanetScope imagery for river-ice research on the Tibetan Plateau. I have many scattered ICESat-2 sites, and each area is usually smaller than 1 km².

However, under the E&R Basic plan, each intersecting scene has a minimum charge of 100 km², so the quota is used up very quickly.

I would like to ask:

• Can multiple small AOIs within the same scene be combined and charged only once for the 100 km² minimum?
• Is there a Planet academic program better suited for research with many small sites?

Thank you!
