Planet Satellite Imagery and Data Services

Planet (formerly Planet Labs) is a leading provider of global daily satellite imagery and geospatial solutions. Founded by former NASA scientists, the company operates the largest fleet of Earth-imaging satellites in history, including the Dove, SkySat, and Pelican constellations. Their mission is to image the entire Earth landmass every day to make global change visible and actionable.

The company’s infrastructure is deeply rooted in California's aerospace ecosystem, where it designs and builds its own hardware. By utilizing a 'high-cadence' approach to aerospace, Planet is able to continuously refresh its satellite fleet with the latest sensors and technology. Their data platform is used across various sectors, including agriculture, forestry, mapping, and defense.

Since its founding, Planet has expanded its capabilities through strategic acquisitions such as BlackBridge (RapidEye) and Google's Terra Bella (SkySat). As a publicly traded entity, it maintains a global footprint with offices and ground stations located worldwide to support its massive data ingestion and processing requirements.
