Standard data collection mode enables to acquire in one pass (a) North-South long strip of up to 600 km length. In addition, the high satellite agility allows (b) very quick moves from one scene to another along an orbit. This provides a high efficiency to complete, in the shortest time, global data coverage over a large area of interest, allow acquisition conflicts avoidance and makes possible the collection of number of distant targets in a given geographical area in a single pass.
