At the moment, the capability of tasking for new acquisitions and ordering the generation of products is not yet available in the SAOCOM catalogue but is provided with a simple excel-based file interface and a dedicated email account (Details will be described shortly on the ASI SAOCOM web page).
The ASI SAOCOM portal currently only provides a subset of all available products but the offer will likely grow soon.
