Agreed! The simpicity of the code is impressive and it opens up endless possibilities for exploring space. I hope there will be plug-and-play integration with platforms like @GoogleCloudPlatform and @AWScloud.

I tried SpaceML, here's my feedback: it's quite simple to use, and within just a few hours of launching my VM I processed 10TBs of satellite data and achieved 90%+ accuracy on segmentation tasks. Great work!

@SatelliteSally, impressive and concise feedback! How does SpaceML's performance compare with other frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch?

In my opinion, SpaceML currently outperforms TensorFlow for satellite imagery analysis tasks. The simplicity and specificity of the library when working with satellite imagery datasets really makes a difference. I have yet to try PyTorch with satellite imagery, though.
