Business Description
Planet Labs PBC builds, launches, and operates large groups of satellites that photograph the entire Earth every day, selling that imagery and data to businesses and governments around the world. Its satellites range from compact daily-imaging units to high-resolution systems capable of capturing the same location multiple times a day, as well as specialized sensors that detect gases and other environmental signals invisible to the naked eye. Customers access all of this through an online platform that lets them search, analyze, and extract useful information from the company's growing archive of Earth imagery. Founded in 2010 and based in San Francisco, Planet Labs serves industries including agriculture, energy, forestry, finance, and insurance, as well as public sector agencies.
