| 4 | + |
| 5 | +**Effective December 1st, monthly credit allotments for ASF’s HyP3 On Demand processing service will be reduced to 8,000 |
| 6 | +credits per user per month.** Due to NASA budget reductions, we have had to reduce our On Demand processing capacity, |
| 7 | +and can no longer support the same volume of product generation as we have in the past. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +HyP3 has generated over 12 million analysis-ready Sentinel-1 products since its public debut in October 2020, made |
| 10 | +possible through generous funding from NASA. We now generate about half a million products a month on behalf of more |
| 11 | +than 1,000 users. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +We remain committed to our mission of making remote sensing data accessible. We will continue to balance processing |
| 14 | +demand against our available budget and adjust quotas as necessary to ensure that we can support as many users as |
| 15 | +possible. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +If you are impacted by this reduction in processing capacity, consider these alternatives: |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +For Sentinel-1 InSAR applications: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +- Consider using our [Burst InSAR](https://hyp3-docs.asf.alaska.edu/guides/burst_insar_product_guide/) workflows. |
| 22 | + These allow generation of interferograms over a smaller geographic area than a full Sentinel-1 SLC, with a |
| 23 | + corresponding reduction in the number of processing credits required for a full InSAR time series analysis. |
| 24 | +- Consider requesting interferograms at a coarser resolution (20x4 looks), which consumes fewer processing credits than |
| 25 | + finer resolutions (10x2 or 5x1 looks). |
| 26 | +- [ARIA Geocoded Unwrapped Interferograms](https://hyp3-docs.asf.alaska.edu/guides/gunw_product_guide/) (GUNW) are |
| 27 | + archived and available for many tectonically active regions, potentially eliminating the need for on-demand |
| 28 | + processing. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +For Sentinel-1 RTC applications: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +- Consider the [OPERA RTC-S1](https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/dc2807b444924fc3a76c117a2c909f8b "OPERA Sentinel-1 RTC StoryMap Tutorial" ){target=_blank} |
| 33 | + dataset available through ASF. This data product includes near-global coverage from 2016 to present at 30-m pixel |
| 34 | + spacing, potentially eliminating the need for on-demand processing. |
| 35 | +- For applications requiring a finer resolution, consider requesting On Demand RTC products with |
| 36 | + [20-m pixel spacing](https://hyp3-docs.asf.alaska.edu/guides/rtc_product_guide/#pixel-spacing), which consumes fewer |
| 37 | + processing credits than 10-m pixel spacing while still providing much more detail than 30-m products. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +For applications requiring more than 8,000 credits worth of processing each month: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +- Consider ASF’s recently-launched [HyP3+](https://hyp3-docs.asf.alaska.edu/about/hyp3_plus/) service, which allows |
| 42 | + users to purchase additional processing credits. |
| 43 | + |
