I suspect web apps that "query" the GPKG files. Parquet can be queried surgically, I'm not sure if there is a way to do the same with GPKG.


The report doesn't appear to be public.


Fixed those. Cheers for pointing them out.


From discussions I've seen online, a lot can fail on satellites so there is a bias to do as little as possible on them. There does appear to be plenty of bandwidth to transmit back to ground stations.

The real win will be satellite-to-satellite transmissions where any data collected by the constellation is passed to the satellite that'll next fly over a ground station. This will lower the time from capture to analysis considerably. The fresher the data, the more valuable it is.


I've got other open data feed posts on the site for Capella, ICEYE, Umbra and Maxar.


Mark, your work has inspired me! Thanks for your work on the posts.


To anyone considering going to all this effort, consider doing this work on OpenStreetMap. 50K contributors make OSM a bit better every month but a good map is never finished. https://rapideditor.org/edit


And for accessing API there is also web interface: https://overpass-turbo.eu/


Um, RapID is the big tech's spin on OSM editing. Clicking stuff to import from AI or government data is hardly the essence of OSM, a complement at best.

Use iD or JOSM on desktop, StreetComplete/Every Door/Go Map!!/Vespucci on the phone. Survey POIs in your local area, with your own feet. Big tech can't do that ;)


Fixed. Thanks for spotting that.


Sorry, I just added a link to a live demo in the post: https://pnorman.github.io/tilekiln-shortbread-demo/


OSM doesn't have the same metadata as this project.


Thanks for clearing that up.
