Tellus: A Satellite-Data Platform from Japan

Field notes

Tellus combines satellite and ground datasets with map-based scene search, downloadable imagery, analysis APIs, and a development environment. The homepage names government and commercial satellite sources and says simple analysis tools are available free through APIs, while some data can be purchased. Its examples include crop-growth prediction, forest damage monitoring, illegal-vessel tracking, fish-finding, and estimates based on parking-lot vehicle counts.
