The data was provided by China’s Chang’E-2 satellite data. The post processing was done by Leica Geosystem Geospatial Imaging, LLC. Lastly, the crater data was pulled from the International Astronomical Union.

The data is stored in WebP format, so if you have an outdated browser (or old version of iOS) it may not work for you.

So I fee like it actually missed the mark as to why it's so impactful. When you get to global scale tiling with building accuracy, you literally end up with hundreds of millions of tiles. The upload time / cost per upload STACKS. However, the tilesets combined usually sits between 100GB and 200GB. ONE upload of ~150GB seems is faster and more cost efficient via S3.
