View company profile

We are Planet Labs PBC, an American Earth-imaging company driven by a mission to image the entirety of the Earth daily to monitor changes and pinpoint trends. Founded in 2010 by three former NASA scientists, Chris Boshuizen, William Marshall, and Robbie Schingler, we design, build, and operate the largest Earth observation fleet of imaging satellites. Our goal is to make global change visible, accessible, and actionable. We capture and compile data from over 3 million images per day, providing mission-critical data, advanced insights, and software solutions to a diverse range of customers.

Our journey began in a California garage, with the vision to leverage information gathered from space to help life on Earth. We recognized the limitations of large, clunky satellites and pioneered the use of inexpensive, compact CubeSats, manufactured in bulk. Our first demonstration CubeSats, Dove 1 and Dove 2, were launched in April 2013. Since then, we've rapidly expanded our constellation, which now includes our Dove, RapidEye, and SkySat satellites. This extensive network allows us to provide daily global coverage, offering unprecedented insights into areas like climate monitoring, crop yield prediction, urban planning, disaster response, deforestation, and supply chain management. We serve a wide array of industries, including agriculture, forestry, intelligence, education, finance, civil government, energy, and infrastructure. Our platform offers various services such as Planet Monitoring, Planet Tasking, Planet Analytic Feeds, Planetary Variables, and Planet Basemaps, all accessible through APIs and browser-based applications. We are committed to transparency and became a public benefit corporation, trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PL since December 2021. We believe in using space to help humanity and are dedicated to providing data that empowers companies, governments, and communities worldwide to make timely and informed decisions about our ever-evolving planet.
