Planet Tasking

Planet Tasking is a highly capable satellite imagery platform designed to provide organizations with precise, actionable geospatial data. Its high-resolution 50 cm ortho imagery allows for detailed monitoring and analysis across multiple industries, including defense, civil government, forestry, and energy. The software’s rapid revisit capability ensures that users can access near-real-time intelligence multiple times a day, enabling timely decision-making and reducing blind spots in critical operations. The flexible tasking options, including single orders or recurring tasks, make it suitable for both ad-hoc projects and ongoing monitoring programs, while the cloud-based dashboard allows users to manage orders from anywhere in the world efficiently. One of Planet Tasking’s major strengths is its comprehensive archive, which contains millions of square kilometers of historical imagery, supporting trend analysis and long-term planning. The platform also supports stereo and 3D data collection for DEM construction and volumetric analysis, and its upcoming Pelican constellation integrates multi-spectral bands with on-orbit AI, offering advanced processing capabilities. However, there are some limitations. The platform’s frequent high-resolution tasking can be costly, and reliance on cloud infrastructure requires stable internet access.
