Future acquisitions

The future acquisition schedule shows the planned acquisitions by both JAXA and ACRES over the Oceania Zone. Most data is acquired by JAXA and sent to ACRES weekly, with a lower proportion downlinked directly by ACRES.

Customers may make specific future acquisition requests but there is limited scope to change the pre-planned schedule, especially at short notice. Initially ACRES will not charge customers for future acquisition requests. However, ACRES reserves the right to implement charges if demand becomes high.
