Earth observation by nano/microsatellites has been developing rapidly over the past decade and its huge amount of data is commercially available. Although nano/microsatellites developed by universities also produce Earth observation data, their data has been manually processed and poorly managed. In this study, a satellite data management system called satellite data manager (SDM) was developed for automated processing and effective management of the Earth observation data from microsatellites. In SDM, the data processing is automated using open-source libraries and open data satellite imagery, and the data visualization is implemented by an interactive map. The feasibility of the system is demonstrated by Earth observation data acquired by the sensors on the RISESAT microsatellite.
