Interface to the 'Spectator Earth' API

v0.2.0 · Jul 5, 2023 · GPL-3

Description

Provides interface to the 'Spectator Earth' API <https://api.spectator.earth/>, mainly for obtaining the acquisition plans and satellite overpasses for Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Landsat-8 and Landsat-9 satellites. Current position and trajectory can also be obtained for a much larger set of satellites. It is also possible to search the archive for available images over the area of interest for a given (past) period, get the URL links to download the whole image tiles, or alternatively to download the image for just the area of interest based on selected spectral bands.
