notes: |
  Open, anonymous, CORS-enabled. Default choice when a collection is available
  here — no SAS-token round-trip, browser-friendly. Subset of MSPC's collection
  inventory but covers the most-used optical/SAR/DEM workhorses. Backed by AWS
  Open Data Sponsorship Program; egress free from us-west-2.
