Google Earth Engine Now Open For Commercial Use

Google recently announced its Google Earth Engine is now open for operational and commercial offering for select customers in preview as a part of its integration with Google Cloud Platform. The Google Earth Engine combines satellite imagery and geospatial data with powerful computing to help people and organizations understand how the planet is changing, how human activity contributes to those changes and what actions they can take.
