Planet Labs’ Remote Sensing Satellite System
Session
Pre-Conference: CubeSat Developers' Workshop
Abstract
Planet Labs is a privately financed company building small imaging satellites to provide an unprecedented view of change across the globe. We’re combining this imaging capability with state-of-the-art big-data and cloud-computing technologies to enable easy access to this data by those who need it most. We describe the system under construction, the technical specifications of the satellites, the ground station network and the product. We also report on the progress of the companies demonstration satellite missions planned for launch in 2013.
