Compatibility between CDSE utilities to extract Sentinel-1 bursts and SNAP

I extracted and downloaded Sentinel-1 SLC bursts from two images using the CDSE utilities (GitHub - eu-cdse/utilities - Documentation - Sentinel-1 SLC Bursts). To do this I run the following commands:

docker run -it -v /home/username:/home/ubuntu -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID> -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY> cdse_utilities sentinel1_burst_extractor.sh -o /home/ubuntu -n S1A_IW_SLC__1SDV_20240814T171540_20240814T171607_055212_06BAD3_C31B.SAFE -p vv -s iw3 -r 30345
docker run -it -v /home/username:/home/ubuntu -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=< AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID> -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY> cdse_utilities sentinel1_burst_extractor.sh -o /home/ubuntu -n S1A_IW_SLC__1SDV_20240826T171541_20240826T171608_055387_06C154_3B5B.SAFE -p vv -s iw3 -r 30345

If I try to read the downloaded bursts in SNAP 11 everything seems to work fine. Then, I tried to coregister the two bursts with the following graph:

By opening the result, I can note that the slave image has been cut:

Note that before applying the back-geocoding operation the slave image is not cut and represent the entire area of the burst as expected.

If I try instead to apply the same graph (i.e. apply orbit + back-geocoding) using as inputs the bursts extracted using the TOPS Split SNAP function on the original data (i.e. S1A_IW_SLC__1SDV_20240814T171540_20240814T171607_055212_06BAD3_C31B.SAFE.zip and S1A_IW_SLC__1SDV_20240826T171541_20240826T171608_055387_06C154_3B5B.SAFE.zip) I can get the expected result with no cut on the slave image:

Is SNAP 11 supposed to support the output of the CDSE utilities for burst extraction? Any insight about where could be the issue and how to eventually solve it?

Yes, SNAP 11 should fully support products from CDSE. We will look into this, thank you for reporting

CDSE utilities has been updated (Version 1.3 [20250314] of sentinel1_burst_extractor.sh). I tested again the example and now it is working fine!
