Flood detection, dark vessel tracking, oil spill mapping and change detection from radar satellites — delivered as clean GeoJSON via REST API. Free tier included. Results in under 500ms.
ESA's Sentinel-1 C-band radar satellites image the entire Earth every 6–12 days — through clouds, at night, over ocean. We process every new overpass, index it with PostGIS, and serve it via REST API. Up to 3 years of history on Pro. No satellite contracts. No processing pipeline to build.

Query any bounding box, get GeoJSON back with confidence scores, timestamps, and metadata. Plug directly into Mapbox, Leaflet, QGIS, or your own pipeline. No pre-processing, no proprietary formats.
Sanctions evasion, illicit ship-to-ship transfers, and illegal fishing all rely on AIS spoofing or shutdown. SAR sees through it — radar detects every vessel regardless of AIS. We task a commercial SAR satellite (ICEYE, Capella, or Umbra) over your area of interest, correlate detections against AIS history at the exact acquisition time, and return a full dark vessel report. Used for sanctions enforcement, maritime insurance, and conflict-zone monitoring.
SAR imagery used to require a PhD, a contract, and a six-figure budget. We've changed that.
Planet, Maxar, and Orbital Insight have been selling satellite data behind enterprise contracts and six-figure minimums. We made it self-serve.
