Sounds like this was built for DigitalGlobe (announced last year they are going all in on AWS and moved ~100PB library into AWS). Satellite directly to S3 sounds perfect for them.

This might spawn a lot of companies like digitalglobe and planetlabs but all of them will run on AWS. Pretty good forward thinking by the AWS team.

AWS builds stuff customers want. It’s never random.
