Planet Labs PBC Announces New Satellite Launches to Boost High-Resolution Earth Monitoring and Accelerate Delivery of Actionable Insights
Planet Labs PBC has announced the upcoming launch of its Pelican-5 and Pelican-6 satellites, along with 36 SuperDove satellites, to Vandenberg Space Force Base for the SpaceX Transporter-15 Rideshare mission. The new satellites will enhance Planet's capability to deliver high-resolution, multispectral imagery, supporting applications such as Maritime Domain Awareness and Global Monitoring Service. Pelican-5 and Pelican-6, part of Planet's first-generation Pelican constellation, are equipped with the NVIDIA Jetson AI platform for on-orbit processing, aiming to accelerate the delivery of actionable insights. The company projects that the fully scaled Pelican fleet will eventually provide 30 cm resolution imagery, reduced latency, and up to 30 revisits per day. These advancements are part of Planet's ongoing efforts to meet growing demand for timely Earth observation data. The results and capabilities described by Planet Labs have been announced but not yet presented at a scientific conference.
