About

Planet operates the largest constellation of imaging satellites in history, with over 200 satellites currently in orbit collecting more than 350 million square kilometers of imagery daily. Founded in 2010 by three NASA scientists, the company has built and deployed this infrastructure to image all of Earth's landmass every day, making global change visible, accessible, and actionable.

The company provides high-frequency satellite data and analytics to governments, businesses, and research institutions. These products support decision-making across agriculture monitoring, climate change tracking, disaster response, and other applications where frequent, comprehensive Earth observation data creates value. Planet is structured as a Public Benefit Corporation, with offices in San Francisco, Berlin, Washington D.C., Haarlem, Ljubljana, and Graz, complemented by remote colleagues worldwide.

Planet's technical foundation spans imaging satellite operations, remote sensing and Earth observation, aerospace engineering, software development, and geospatial analytics. The company combines hard technical problems in space operations with data processing and analytical capabilities required to turn raw satellite imagery into actionable intelligence at scale.
