Hi,  
I’m pleased to announce the [RemoteS.jl](https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/RemoteS.jl) package to deal mainly with EOS satellite data.

See examples in the Gallery to get the feeling of this package

- [Plot AQUA satellite tracks](https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org/RemoteS.jl/dev/gallery/Aqua_orbits/remotes_sat_tracks/#Plot-AQUA-satellite-tracks-1). @Ronis_BR this one is for you 🙂
- [Interpolate a MODIS L2 SST file](https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org/RemoteS.jl/dev/gallery/Aqua_sst/remotes_L2_SST/#Interpolate-a-MODIS-L2-SST-file-1)
- [Exploring a _cube_ of Landsat 8 data](https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org/RemoteS.jl/dev/gallery/L8cube_img/remotes_L8_cube_img/)
- [Spectral indices with Landsat 8 imagery](https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org/RemoteS.jl/dev/gallery/L8cube_ndvi/remotes_L8_NDVI/#Spectral-indices-with-Landsat-8-imagery-1)

Satellite imagery is such a large field that much of the promised features have not been tested. Testing, feature requests, code contribution etc… are very welcome.

Cool stuff, I was trying to do something sort of similar a while ago with [RemoteSensing.jl](https://github.com/Crghilardi/RemoteSensing.jl)

I’m probably not going to do anything with that repo. I would be happy to transfer and/or delete if you would prefer to use that repo name.

@Crghilardi Thanks for the offering. Yes, when I was looking for a name I looked into your package and saw the name was taken. But a bit after having come out with `RemoteS` I started to like that name. It’s a light name, while `RemoteSensing` seems to bare a heavy responsibility 😓
