About
Planet operates hundreds of satellites that together provide an unprecedented dataset of Earth observation imagery. With a unique combination of coverage, frequency, and resolution, Planet delivers geospatial insights at the speed of change, helping you get the most nuanced understanding of changing ground conditions. Planet’s constellation of satellites orbit the poles every 90 minutes, capturing the entire Earth’s landmass every day.
PlanetScope offers 3.7 meter resolution with 8 bands (RGB, NIR), providing color enhanced visual and analytic products. It has a radiometric resolution of 8 bit visual and 16 bit analytic, with a positional accuracy of < 10 M RMSE, and files are in GeoTIFF format.
SkySat provides 0.5m visual, panchromatic, and pansharpened multispectral resolution with 5 bands (RGB, NIR, pan). Its radiometric resolution is 8 bit visual and 16 bit for analytic, panchromatic, and pansharpened multispectral, with a positional accuracy of < 10 M RMSE, and files are in GeoTIFF format.
Pelican offers 0.5m visual, panchromatic, and pansharpened multispectral resolution with 7 bands (RGB, NIRx2, Red-Edge, PAN). It has a native radiometric resolution of 12 bit and processed 16 bit, with a positional accuracy of < 10 m CE90 with Planet ground control points, and files are in GeoTIFF, NITF 2.1 formats.
Planet Archive empowers customers with a living dataset of global change, with new imagery added on a daily basis. With 10+ billion sq km of imagery, Planet Archive has proprietary datasets back to 2009 and public datasets back to 1972, allowing users to monitor historical change, assess trends globally, and train machine learning and computer vision algorithms.
