    OP here. One of the wildest things I found was a project in Sub-Saharan Africa claiming dense forestry that had a heat signature (NO2) matching a light industrial zone. If anyone is working with Sentinel-5P data, I'd love to compare notes on cloud-masking algorithms.

    Are the satellite API's free?

          Yes. The raw telemetry comes from the Sentinel-2 constellation, which is open access

    However, querying the raw hub is slow :( API hosts the same data but indexes it via the STAC standard.

    You don't pay for data, you only pay for the compute to process the pixels.
