We provides the following basic instructions for users to plan for image acquisition with ICEYE satellites using the software SaVoir.

Setting Inputs

To find acquisition opportunities over a particular region for ICEYE-X2 satellite and sensor, you need to create a scenario and you must consider:
  • Setting expected time period with start and end dates (in the Time Span Selection)
    Timespan-selection
  • Satellite settings: with SaVoir latest version (8.3.0), ICEYE satellite scenarios are available in the software system.
    Note: Please ensure you select ICEYE satellite from the Satellite panel and please check if their sensors are turned on

  • Locate your expected area on the 3D Map and select the Area of Interest (AOI) of your interest on the Earth view. You can set your AOI on SaVoir using the following popular ways:
  1. Upload your own AOI in KML or KMZ files to SaVoir (Import... option)
  2. Create a polygon on SaVoir (Polygon option)
  3. Create a point on SaVoir (Point option)

For better planning results, we recommend using the Point tools.
