Description

There is a lot of overlap between MAAP and VEDA in terms of use cases and also audiences.

In terms of docs, the main area where they are distinct is how to get access and other platform-specific technicalities such as how to set up environments.

They are similar for the use cases for science compute on (NASA) Earth data and in part also how to receive support for scientific computing with STAC, S3, Python packages like rasterio, xarray, geopandas, etc.

At some point, it might make sense to merge the two docs - keeping platform-specific information separate but bringing most other things together.

Research direction

Start by comparing the VEDA and MAAP documentation, focusing on shared use cases, audiences, and support for STAC, S3, and Python packages such as rasterio, xarray, and geopandas. Keep access, environment setup, and other platform-specific material separate, then document whether the overlap makes merging timely.
