Seems somewhat similar to what Descartes Labs is doing - a "data refinery that combines data from diverse sources, cleans it up and makes it ready for modeling - and a platform to upon which to build living, learning models" [1]
Amazon's offering is geared more towards ground stations, but they might move up the stack and start providing data refinery-type services on top of the ground station work.
Oh, our entire stack is built on Google Cloud Platform.
Also, what's the TAM in your specific market vs the AWS product's market? How has the TAM changed in the past 5 years?
Lastly, I heard your head of engineering brews better beer than any of your competitors. Is that true? Can be provide samples?
Examples include Land-Cover-Mapping (mapping pixels to classes like forests, urban areas, water, etc.) which can then further be used to do crop monitoring or land-use monitoring.
I guess this is different than the product AWS is offering here, which is more about getting the data from/to the satellite, but not about processing (at least for now).
Satellite data imo sucks, especially aerial imagery. Too many damn clouds to get anything useful in real time haha!
Labs looks very interesting, very lofty yet achievable goals.
