In 2010, a group of ex-NASA scientists decided on a goal to use space to help life on Earth. These founders, a small group of physicists and engineers began building Planet’s first satellite in a garage in Cupertino, California.
Fast forward to April 19, 2013. Planet launched its first satellite, Dove 1, into a sun synchronous orbit aboard a Soyuz rocket to capture the first light image.
The rest, they say, is history.
Today, with over 600 employees, we have successfully deployed 351 satellites. 10 times that of any competitor.
Planet currently has over 200 satellites in orbit collecting over 250 million square kilometers of imagery daily, with an unprecedented dataset of on average 1,200 images of every location on Earth’s landmass.
