c. Placing Image Orders. Commercial imagery and aerial photo requests can be
placed via email, memorandum, fax, or phone. The following image requirements should
be determined prior to contacting TIO.
1. Geographic area of interest in latitude/longitude coordinates in de-
grees and minutes (or path/row if known).
2. Acceptable date range for data coverage; cloud cover and quality
restrictions.
3. Satellite system/sensor.
4. Desired end product (digital or hard copy and preferred media).
5. Mailing and electronic address and phone number.
Consider the timing requirements for the project. For projects not involving
emergencies or hazards satellite data may be delivered by regular mail. TIO can
also deliver data by FEDEX and FTP. The TIO performs an image data search
through the CSIL (Commercial Satellite Image Library). When data is available
in the CSIL, the TIO receives a CD of the data, and copies the data for the cus-
tomer.
