I could set up a continuous integration (CI) environment to trigger builds for every commit, and have the binaries available in some artifact repository, or I could set up a file server for this and use scp or sftp, but again, that’s not the case.

I’ve tried other solutions in the past but they didn’t work very well.

Intro This post describes ways to download, clip and join satellite images. The module sentinel-mosaic is used throughout this blog post. Background There’s a number of satellites launched by the European Space Agency that take images of Earth which are then sent to ground stations and made publicly available through the Copernicus Open Access Hub and its respective API. In this post we’re focusing mainly on the data from Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B which were designed for multiple purposes, one of those purposes being land monitoring.
