About Planet

Planet is an AI-powered Earth intelligence platform from Planet Labs PBC that provides daily satellite imagery and insights. It combines high-resolution imagery on demand, global vigilance for defense and intelligence, and a multidimensional view of our changing planet so users can make informed decisions and actions. This platform supports various applications, including environmental monitoring and urban planning, to help organizations analyze changes over time. With the recent launch of two additional Pelican satellites, Planet improves its capabilities for real-time data collection. Key capabilities: daily satellite imagery high-resolution imagery global vigilance environmental monitoring urban planning Best for: organizations and agencies that need timely and accurate Earth observation data.

Planet Insights Platform is a powerful AI-driven Earth intelligence software that brings together daily satellite imagery, advanced analytics, and decision-support tools into a single, unified platform. Built on Planet’s industry-leading satellite constellations—including PlanetScope, SkySat, Pelican, and the next-generation Owl™—the platform enables organizations to monitor, analyze, and act on change at planetary scale. What sets Planet apart is its unmatched combination of high-frequency global coverage and high-resolution tasking. Users can “look broader” with daily global monitoring, “look closer” with sub-meter imagery on demand, “look backward” using historical archives, and “look deeper” through derived datasets such as soil water content and environmental indicators. These capabilities allow users not just to observe change, but to understand patterns, detect risks early, and respond with confidence. The software is delivered through modular products such as Planet Monitoring, Planet Tasking, Planet Basemaps, Planet Analytic Feeds, and Planetary Variables, all accessible via the Planet Insights Platform. This makes it flexible for a wide range of use cases—from large-scale land management to rapid-response intelligence workflows.
