Today we have several Earth Observation Satellites launched by various agencies acquiring and sending huge environmental data like pollutants, population movement, transportation movement, construction on ground, weather conditions, climatic condition, oceanic conditions, chlorophyll etc. This kind of data is available since 1972 with the introduction of Landsat series satellites jointly by NASA and US Geological Survey. Now, the ongoing research is on how to integrate analytical technologies like ML, computational epidemiology, CFD etc blended with innovation with the uninterruptedly available satellite data to predict the outbreak of unknown diseases. This will help the policy makers to make informed decisions for the wellbeing of general public
