QGIS
The free, open-source GIS that has become the default spatial platform for water engineers worldwide.
A STAC API and Jupyter environment over petabytes of satellite data — Sentinel, Landsat, MODIS, ERA5, CHIRPS and more.

The Planetary Computer pairs a multi-petabyte, analysis-ready data catalogue — Sentinel-1/2, Landsat, MODIS, ESA WorldCover, NLCD, SRTM, ERA5, CHIRPS and dozens more, many of which appear individually elsewhere in this collection — with a standard STAC API and an approved-account JupyterHub environment for running analysis next to the data rather than downloading it.
Its value is consolidation: instead of learning a different access pattern for each agency's archive, Planetary Computer exposes them all through one consistent STAC/COG interface, which has made it a popular default for teams building reproducible remote-sensing pipelines rather than one-off downloads.
