Earth observation data from satellites like Landsat is now more publicly available than ever before, allowing not just scientists but also non-scientists and computers to access and utilize the data. Tools are being built like Landsat-API and Landsat-util to make this satellite imagery more programmatically accessible. Companies like Astro Digital are working on scalable platforms to process satellite images on-demand through cloud-based APIs and services in order to generate actionable data and insights through real-time analysis and machine learning.
