Background of Tellus
Satellite data processing requires high expertise and on-premises
settings, so it has not been available to many industries. Tellus was developed to change this and open satellite
data use to various businesses with providing wide range of data*
from institutions including Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
(JAXA) and private entities, and a cloud platform for data
analyzing and application development.
*Free satellite data and analysis tools are available, and you can
also purchase priced commercial data and tools by private
entities.
