Abstract
Every day, several Earth observation satellites produce images from around the world. Cloud computing is becoming the main location where all these satellite images are being stored and distributed. This document features an R-package that implements a SpatioTemporal Assets Catalog API client that allows querying and access to a growing set of global satellite imagery providers.
