Planet Labs PBC

Planet Labs PBC operates the largest constellation of imaging satellites in history. More than 200 satellites in orbit image all of Earth's landmass every day, collecting over 350 million square kilometres of imagery daily. The resulting high-frequency data is delivered to governments, businesses and researchers alongside analytics built on top of it, with users monitoring agriculture, tracking climate change, responding to disasters and making decisions about a changing planet.

The company's technical work spans satellite imaging, remote sensing, space systems and constellation engineering, data analytics and software engineering. Founded in 2010 by three NASA scientists, it employs a multidisciplinary team of rocket scientists, software engineers, creatives and business strategists, and describes a culture oriented towards hard problems and world records.

Planet Labs PBC is a Public Benefit Corporation, stating a mission of using space to help life on Earth and a focus on a sustainable, secure and prosperous world beyond business metrics. Its work serves verticals including agriculture, climate and sustainability, disaster response, government and defence, environmental monitoring, and research and academia.

Staff are based in San Francisco, Berlin, Washington D.C., Haarlem, Ljubljana and Graz, alongside remote colleagues worldwide.
