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

Digitally Transforming Supply Chains in the Coffee Industry
With the implementation of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) coupled with impacts of climate change there is a need to provide fundamental digital capability to ensure that African farmers are both able to participate in global supply chains as well as being resilient to climate change.Sustainable Palm Oil
Around 90% of oil palm trees globally are located in Malaysia and Indonesia, islands with the most biodiverse tropical forests in the world. Because palm oil requires up to nine times less land than other vegetable oil crops, its efficient use of land makes palm oil extremely attractive to producers and purchasers across the world.Sustainable Fashion
NGIS and Textile Exchange have continued the investment into the MIE to provide a roadmap for both expanding risk and recommendation content along with addressing new and evolving frameworks and regulations.Protecting Giant Kelp
Giant Kelp has a low tolerance to heat stress. With the warming of our oceans – particularly in the east of Australia where temperatures have risen three times the average global rate, Australia’s kelp forests face significant threat. In eastern Tasmania, a 95% loss of Giant Kelp forests has occurred over the past four to five decades.
