The Matsu Project is an open-source initiative that processes satellite imagery to assist earth sciences researchers using a community science cloud, in collaboration with NASA’s EO-1 mission. It employs technologies like Hadoop and Accumulo to manage and analyze satellite data, creating levels of processed imagery which are accessible through a web mapping tile service. The project is overseen by Robert Grossman from the University of Chicago and is partly funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the National Science Foundation.
