Unlock potential with Planet’s earth-imaging solutions

Planet designs, builds, and operates the world’s largest constellation of earth-imaging satellites. Capturing daily imagery of Earth, Planet makes global changes visible, accessible, and actionable through an API and online platform. There’s no need to download gigabytes of data to get started—Planet’s entire dataset is accessible via web-based tools and an online API. Simply open your web browser to begin.

Make data-driven decisions

Planet’s global, daily imagery provides a comprehensive view of frequent changes worldwide, delivering an unparalleled dataset rich with information. This imagery has been utilised for various applications, including analysing shipping activity at ports, predicting agricultural land use, informing government intelligence, uncovering deforestation, mapping the effects of natural disasters, and monitoring crop health, among others.

Capturing more data than ever

Traditional earth-imaging satellites cover only a fraction of Earth’s surface daily. Planet is revolutionising this approach by significantly lowering the cost of its satellites and dramatically increasing their number, enabling 100% daily coverage of Earth’s landmass.

See the world daily

Experience the state of the world as it is today, in a global context. Planet’s constellation of satellites acts as a line scanner for the planet, continuously monitoring everywhere on Earth to deliver the latest imagery.

Planet’s constellations

Planet operates two spacecraft fleets: the Dove and SkySat satellite constellations.

SkySat Constellation: Offers faster revisit times, lower latency, and higher prioritisation to enable rapid intelligence.
Dove Constellation: Comprises the world’s largest fleet of earth-imaging satellites, performing a daily “line scan” of the entire Earth.

What once took days or weeks now takes only hours. Planet’s customised, fully-automated data pipeline processes imagery from a satellite down to your device in less than 24 hours. Daily monitoring enables rapid identification and tracking of changes, such as the reconstruction of the Oroville Dam emergency spillway after severe winter rains. With Planet’s information at your fingertips, the possibilities are limitless.

Make fast and informed decisions

Planet’s high cadence imagery offers unique advantages for organisations as part of a multi-content approach to Earth observations:

  • High Cadence Imagery: Sub-daily content updates.
  • Flexible Acquisition: Target numerous small areas of interest with a single account.
  • Interoperability: Designed to integrate with other sensors such as Sentinel.
  • Rich Integration: Ingest Planet imagery into EO platforms like Google Earth Engine.
  • Planet Solutions for Government

As Australia recovers from recent significant natural disasters and plans for large-scale infrastructure investments, the need for fast, accurate monitoring and the modernization of satellite imagery usage is critical and can benefit:

  • Compliance and regulation activities
  • Infrastructure projects
  • Emergency management and response
  • Defence and intelligence
