Planet Labs

Planet Labs (Planet) operates the world's largest fleet of Earth observation satellites, including the PlanetScope constellation of over 200 small satellites (Doves) that image the entire Earth's land surface daily at 3-5 meter resolution, and the SkySat constellation providing sub-meter tasked imagery. This unprecedented revisit rate enables monitoring of rapidly changing phenomena that traditional satellite programs with multi-day or weekly revisit cycles would miss. Planet's data products include PlanetScope daily imagery (3-5m, 8-band multispectral), SkySat high-resolution imagery (50cm, video-capable), and analysis-ready data feeds with atmospheric correctionAtmospheric CorrectionAtmospheric correction removes the effects of atmospheric scattering and absorption from satellite and aerial imagery..., orthorectification, and surface reflectance products.

Planet's Analytic Feeds deliver automated change detectionChange DetectionChange detection uses geospatial data and imagery to track and analyze alterations in landscapes, infrastructure, or ..., vegetation monitoring, and feature extraction. Planet's daily global coverage has transformed Earth observation from periodic snapshots to continuous monitoring. Agriculture companies use Planet data for crop health tracking and yield estimation, forestry organizations monitor deforestation in near-real-time, insurance companies assess damage after natural disasters, commodity traders track supply chain indicators, and defense organizations monitor areas of interest. Planet's data is accessed through subscription plans ranging from academic and nonprofit programs to enterprise agreements.
