It's been a few days since Kiruthika published this, but wanted to highlight it anyway. Planet has been designing, building, and operating some of the most cutting edge commercial imaging satellites for over a decade. We're typically pretty tight lipped about the underlying tech, but our new smallsat bus is in space and is just too damn cool to not be a bit more open about! This has been an huge development project by an incredible talented, experienced, and driven team, and it'll be at the core of many future Planet missions, starting with Pelican (high res) and Tanager (hyperspectral). LFG! https://lnkd.in/dMqHV3BJ

The power of everywhere, every day is first finding the needle in the haystack, and then who put it there

This is an awesome program for young engineers looking to get into the space industry! Lots of hands on experience and exposure to industry experts/leaders. #engineers #spaceindustry

Starting 2023 with a ROAR! This morning was a beautifully smooth launch and successful deployment of 36 fresh new SuperDove satellites, adding to the largest fleet of Earth observation satellites. I'm proud of the team at Planet for maintaining our 100% record of contacting every satellite we've ever deployed in space (that's >500 now, and we're just warming up...) #space #earthobservation #climate #satelliteimagery
