Building a FastAPI Backend for Live Satellite Imagery and Orbital Position
Learn to build a FastAPI backend for live satellite imagery. Discover data flow from Copernicus Sentinel Hub and satellite positioning.
I developed an application focused on the Sheffield Cholera Monument, showcasing a satellite's vegetation view and a ground-level 3D model. The FastAPI backend retrieves live satellite imagery from the Copernicus Sentinel Hub, identifies the latest scene, and accurately pins the satellite's position above the monument. This process provides engineers with crucial insights into real-time data flow and working with satellite data.
