First-generation Pelican satellites are built to provide 50 cm imagery across 6 multispectral bands optimized for cross-sensor analysis. Each first-generation Pelican spacecraft has the <strong>NVIDIA&nbsp;<\/strong>Jetson AI platform onboard, enabling on-orbit processing and accelerating the delivery of actionable insights to customers.<\/p>\n<p>Planet expects to develop the Pelican fleet to ultimately deliver 30 cm resolution imagery, reduced latency from hours to minutes, and up to 30 revisits per day, depending on the fully-scaled constellation size. Following the successful launches and commissioning of Pelican-2, Pelican-3, and Pelican-4 this year, Pelican-5 and Pelican-6 will expand the capacity of the constellation to provide on-demand, high-resolution tasking for customers across a range of industries, from defense and intelligence to commercial enterprise. Planet has plans for multiple launches of additional Pelican satellites over the next twelve months.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Pelican spacecraft, this launch includes 36 SuperDoves (Flock 4H), which will bolster Planet\u2019s flagship daily, global PlanetScope monitoring mission. This addition further solidifies Planet&#8217;s industry leadership in Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) and Global Monitoring Service (GMS) \u2013 providing customers with real-time, global monitoring across millions of square kilometers. Combining Planetscope with Planet\u2019s high-resolution imagery and rapid tasking capabilities, the company uniquely empowers its customers to monitor change and make better, faster decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planet Labs, a leading provider of daily data and insights about change on Earth, announced its Pelican-5 and Pelican-6 satellites and 36 SuperDoves of Flock 4H have arrived at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California ahead of their launch aboard the upcoming Transporter-15 Rideshare mission with SpaceX. &#8220;We&#8217;re continuing to see incredible demand for our [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[26,25,20],"class_list":["post-2666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ground","tag-launch","tag-satellite"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2666"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2666"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2666\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
