About us

We were three weeks into preprocessing before every project

Terraglass started in a remote-sensing lab where every PhD began with the same three weeks of work.

Origin

The same pipeline, rebuilt forty times

Atmospheric correction, cloud masking, co-registration, tiling. Every student wrote it again, slightly differently, and no two results were comparable. We built it once, wrote down every parameter, and made the outputs addressable — which turned out to be a product.

  • Every processing parameter is recorded in the item metadata
  • Old baselines stay available so published results stay reproducible
  • Source data remains free — we never resell public archives

How we work

Boring on purpose

We would rather run software that is three years old and understood than something new that pages us at 04:00.

Own the path

We buy transit from multiple carriers and peer directly wherever it is possible, so a single bad hop is never a single point of failure.

Write it down

Every incident gets a public write-up. Every design decision gets an RFC. Institutional memory beats heroics.

Some of the people behind it

A quarter of the company has been here since the first rack.
