Control your geospatial spend

Gain full visibility over your organization's workflows by centralizing all orders and assets in one secure repository.

Eliminate format inconsistencies

Raster files are automatically converted into COGs and vector files into GeoJSONs, saving valuable engineering time.

Scale via API and SDK

Automate data ingestion directly into your pipelines using the UP42 API or Python SDK. Standardized output formats reduce preprocessing time, allowing your team to move from acquisition to analysis faster.

FAQs

‍

What is NSG UP42 data management?

Data management applies to all assets you’ve obtained from orders and processes. It’s powered by STAC functionalities and our cloud-native asset model, ensuring that all data is standardized, easy to find, and ready to use.

What is STAC?

Spatio-Temporal Asset Catalog (STAC for short) is a standard specification for geospatial data. It provides a common structure and set of metadata for geospatial assets, which makes it easier to find and sort them.

‍

What is the cloud-native asset model?

The cloud-native asset model, or CNAM, transforms delivered tasking or catalog orders into individual geospatial features available for immediate download.

CNAM standardizes the following types of files to enable easier integrations:

  • Raster data is converted into cloud-optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs)
  • Vector mask files are converted into GeoJSONs

This means that teams don’t need to spend time standardizing delivered data: the data is already standardized, no matter the original provider.

Can I visualize my NSG UP42 assets?

As well as visualizing your assets within the NSG UP42 console, we also support data visualization in QGIS, a free open-source software. You can either stream the assets, as mentioned above, or download them completely and upload the full file to QGIS. For all the info on visualizing your data, please see our documentation.
