Why do we need our online Earth observation station?

It is very difficult to find reliable tools for research, observing the planet, and analyzing its condition, especially when it comes to detecting wildfires and studying environmental issues. Existing services are usually fragmented, very inconvenient, and often conflict with each other politically, limiting access. After 2023, almost all such services became paid. I decided to deploy my own system that allows monitoring changes on Earth's surface using NASA satellite data, tracking wildfires, identifying signs of deforestation, ecosystem degradation, and large-scale environmental disasters. The station integrates satellite images from different dates, spectral observation modes, and thermal anomaly data. This allows for the study of specific areas, recording changes, and identifying regions that require further inspection. The most important aspect is the ability to detect thermal anomalies and respond quickly if necessary: services and environmental defenders should go to the sites and check the situation to prevent forest fires. This is why an interactive world map with up-to-date satellite data was launched. We are refining it, adding new features, and expanding the infrastructure. The plan is to gradually integrate many available tools into one station so that anyone can explore environmental issues in a single window mode.
