Landsat on AWS
We have committed to make up to 1
petabyte of Landsat imagery readily
available as objects on Amazon S3.
All Landsat 8 scenes from 2015 are
available, along with a selection of
cloud-free scenes from 2013 and
2014. All new Landsat 8 scenes are
made available each day (~700 per
day), often within hours of production.
Now anyone can work with Landsat
data with no up-front investment of
time or capital expense.

Snapsat
A team of five novice programmers
used Landsat on AWS to build a web
app called Snapsat that creates
Landsat data visualizations in
seconds.
Snapsat was built during the team’s
8-week training program at Code
Fellows. They launched it just
months after learning to write code.
