About
SNAPS is the company. The trackers sit under it.
Great satellite and science data already exists, but it’s spread across dozens of sites, buried in raw images, and slow to piece together. SNAPS gathers it, builds models that help us understand and forecast what’s happening to our environment, and presents it so anyone can read it. Our core maps are free to everyone who signs up, as a tool for citizen science and learning. Premium features fund the work, so we keep improving without relying on donations, and what we learn always flows back into the free version.
SNAPS (Satellite Nautical Atmospheric Prediction System) is the company, based in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, and part of Chubbles Holding Co. The four trackers are SNAPS products.
- Public data sources, named on each site
- No ads and no tracking scripts on this page
- A SNAPS app is planned as the front door to all four
