About
Based on our vision to democratize 'big data' including earth observation data, Tellus has been born as Japan's big data platform which enable us to analyze them with cloud computing environment. The objective of Tellus is to use earth observation data to develop a new business market. Tellus can overlay multiple sources of satellite and terrestrial data, and provide a wide range of functions for accelerate new business initiation.
In General, it has been pointed out that one of Japan's drawbacks is to focus on hardware development too much and there is not 'user- friendly environment' enough for earth observation data utilization. The reason why industrial use has been extremely limited in is that the processing of satellite data requires a high level of expertise, as well as expensive processing equipment and software. We believe that Tellus can remove such barriers so that people can use earth observation data. To meet this objective, Tellus provides rich computing resources called 'Integrated Development Environment (IDE)' for data analysis and application development as well as earth observation and terrestrial data set.
From January 2020, we have launched Tellus version 2.0 with more earth observation data and terrestrial data that it used to have. One of biggest update for Tellus version 2.0 is to open 'Tellus Market' where is the commercial place for those who want to sell and buy the data, alcoholisms and applications called 'Tool' in Tellus.
Overview of Tellus' service
Tellus is the big data platform to provide you with earth observation data set with IDE for data analysis and application development. Besides, Tellus also host training program on earth observation data handling, machine learning skills and the competition for algorism development so that the data scientist all over the world can join and show their skill set in Tellus. Through Tellus' owned media, 'Sorabatake', anyone can share the latest trend of space development inside and outside of Japan and lessons learned of big data utilization including earth observation data.
Tellus Platform
-
Rich cloud computing available
Tellus offer an Integrated Development Environment(IDE) so that people those who interested in data analysis may implement the advanced data analysis by JupyterLab. If necessary, Tellus is flexible enough to add computing resources in line with user requirements. Tellus will also strengthen the connection with Sakura Internet's current internet infrastructure services such as 'Sakura Cloud' and 'Koukaryoku (high performance GPU service)'.
-
'Tellus Market' available
In the Tellus Market, you can buy and sell your data, applications, and algorithms called 'Tool' there You can also purchase data necessary for analysis and sell value add-products.
-
Quick analysis possible
Without installing any software, Tellus Operating System (Tellus OS) enables you to visualize, analyze earth observation and terrestrial data in Tellus smoothly.
Tellus OS also enables you to handle and map the earth observation and terrestrial data on the Web-GIS displayed in the browser intuitively and then to visualize sequential information and regional characteristics of the designated area. Required functions are updated as necessary.
-
Learning opportunity available
Through Tellus' owned media, 'Sorabatake', we introduce practical use case of of earth observation data analysis in addition to the 'hot topics' which associated with earth observation data. We also offer 'Tellus Satellite Bootcamp' which is the training opportunity for the engineer to practice earth observation data analysis and machine learning. 'Tellus Trainer', the online e-learning course that can provide you with the same level of learning opportunity of Tellus Satellite Bootcamp, and 'Tellus Satellite Challenge' which is the competition for analysis of earth observation data.
Besides, we host 'Tellus Satellite Café' which is the casual event available for only Tellus customers.
-
Colorful data set available
Through the collaboration with a variety of organizations such as the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and private sectors, you can utilize the earth observation and terrestrial by free of charge in Tellus. Tellus is the advanced big data platform with an enormous amount of earth observation and terrestrial data.
Introduction of members comprising Tellus
Tellus is composed of members from various fields such as outer space, IT, media, and services.
We are fusing the opinions of members and constructing a new type of platform unlike anything that has come before.

What is Tellus?
Tellus is Japan's first satellite data platform that can analyze satellite data on the cloud as part of the 'Project for Establishment of Open and Free Government Satellite Data and Business Environmental Arrangement for Data Utilization' operated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Sakura internet started providing services from February 21, 2019. On June 28, Sakura released Version 1.1 with support for Jupyter Lab and R programming language, as well as the addition of new data.
