This platform will host Planet\u2019s next generation of imaging sensors, to be deployed as part of the Pelican and Tanager constellations. The Pelican constellation is designed to replenish and improve upon Planet\u2019s existing high-resolution systems in orbit today, its SkySats, and is not expected to produce commercial imagery until further iterations of the Pelican satellite platform become operational.<\/p>\n<p>The 36 SuperDoves onboard will contribute to Planet\u2019s daily, global monitoring mission. Planet has launched over 500 of its flagship Dove-series satellites since 2013, capturing a rich archive of change on Earth. The daily scan and 2,400 image-deep historical archives are used by hundreds of customers in defense, civil government, and commercial markets to make more informed decisions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to learn about Planet&#8217;s Satellite Imagery Products.<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planet Labs PBC, one of the leading providers of daily data and insights about Earth, announced that its Pelican tech demonstration satellite, Pelican-1, along with 36 SuperDoves, Flock 4Q, will be launching on SpaceX\u2019s Transporter-9 mission on November 11, 2023, from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
