News

In order to improve the usability of Tellus, we are planning to update the APIs for data distribution, and the Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) format for reference data. This may change the access method of satellite data provided by Tellus. In addition, some data will no longer be provided. Please read the additional information below.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause and we appreciate your understanding.

We will continue to increase the data variety provided by the Traveler API and improve the uservility as a satellite data platform.
