Business Description
Planet Labs PBC builds and operates one of the world's largest satellite fleets, capturing daily images of the entire Earth and delivering that data to customers through an easy-to-use online platform. Its satellites range from compact imaging units that photograph the planet every day to high-resolution craft capable of revisiting any location multiple times daily, along with specialized sensors that detect gases and environmental changes invisible to the naked eye. Businesses in agriculture, energy, finance, forestry, and insurance, as well as government agencies worldwide, use this imagery to make better decisions about land, resources, and risk. Founded in 2010 and based in San Francisco, the company also designs and builds satellites for outside customers, handling everything from engineering and launch to ongoing operations.
