Catalogue
FarEarth's Catalogue is the component that securely and reliably manages all data. The Catalogue has support for the most popular cloud storage providers, through the Archive subsystem.
All products in FarEarth are STAC compliant. The Catalogue also supports integrating external STAC catalogues transparently.
We have extended the STAC concept of Collections for improved organising and searching capabilities.
