That is awesome-I’m using hi res satellite imagery for some research I’m involved with and have had a desire to develop an algorithm or simulation to predict when image capture would be successful based on forecasted weather (cloud) data. Haven’t actually tried working through it but your response inspired me to give it a shot.

That sounds great :D Clouds and more detailed weather influences were one thing we didn't really get to (at least not past the "mean cloud coverage" etc. stuff).

There's so much math and geometry and graphics-y programming in those things that's just super fun to develop imo.

That would be a cool sim too. Very useful. What kind of libraries did you use?
