1 week ago @samuelgrubinger thanks for the submission. David did not ask for our help on this previously. I think it makes sense for us to ingest this data to the MAAP STAC, partly so we can convert to Cloud Optimized Point Cloud (COPC), and also fix the missing CRS issue I observed on a few of the files.
