Planet

Watch Duty is integrating our satellite data into their enterprise platform, with Pacific Gas and Electric Company joining as the first adopter. From our Co-Founder & CEO Will Marshall: “This integration combines Watch Duty's vital on-the-ground context with Planet's overhead view, empowering teams at utilities like PG&E to move from reactive crisis management to proactive solutions to help protect people, property, and the environment."

With Planet’s AI app, users can combine the power of AI with near-daily satellite data to explore what’s happening on Earth, uncover insights, and better understand change at scale. This is a glimpse into the future of Planetary Intelligence: transforming the world’s most comprehensive Earth data into actionable intelligence.

In his new TED Conferences Talk, our Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer Robbie Schingler shares how we’re entering an era of Planetary Intelligence: combining near-daily satellite imagery with AI to transform data into action. 🌎🚀 Watch now to learn how we’re building the foundation for a more intelligent, connected planet. 🎥 https://lnkd.in/dnJmn-Y8

The TED Conferences stage has always been a place for bold ideas about the future, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share Planet’s vision of Planetary Intelligence. In this talk, I outline how sensors in space, real-time connectivity and computation will power a kind of planetary nervous system.  And that Earth Data when combined with LLMs and AI can create a Large Earth Model - an AI that is keenly aware of the physical reality of what’s happening on our changing planet.  But ultimately, this is about embracing these technologies as a farmer, an insurer, a development banker, or an intelligence analyst. Transforming our workflows to be more planetarily aware and has the potential to evolve and create new institutions and companies on our dynamic, living planet. This is the third time Planet have been on the TED mainstage - the first time in 2014 to announce our Daily Imaging Mission and the second one in 2018 - quite prescient in today’s age of AI - discussing Earth Data and AI (links below in comments).  But our mission is consistent; from the beginning, Planet has been on a mission to create a new way of seeing Earth, providing an independent source of truth about what’s happening around our world every day. Now, with the rise of AI, we have an opportunity to transform that understanding into action. Thank you to the TED team and everyone who has helped bring this vision to life.

Our near-daily satellite imagery will be used in Rwanda to monitor agriculture and food security, track forest health and resilience, and refine urban planning and zoning. In partnership with the government of Rwanda, we’ve launched a national satellite data program, marking our first national-scale partnership in Africa. 👉 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gCGE3bUz

We’re partnering with the Government of Rwanda to launch a new national satellite data program. This deal marks Planet’s first national program of its kind in Africa. Overseen by the Rwanda Space Agency, the initiative provides Planet data to government agencies, public universities, and selected startups. The data will help with monitoring agriculture and food security, tracking forest health and resilience, refining urban planning and zoning, and informing disaster planning, response, and recovery.   👉 Learn more about the partnership: https://lnkd.in/gDDksWEv

Can you tell the difference between Earth and Mars? 🤔 At first glance, it's harder than you might think. Two of the images below captured Earth with our PlanetScope constellation. The others were taken by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), which has been orbiting Mars since 2006. Drop your guesses in the comments: Which images are Earth and which are Mars? 🌍 🚀

Part 2 of our Co-Founder and CEO Will Marshall's conversation on Freakonomics Radio is out now: “In the New Space Race, Who Makes the Rules?” In this episode, Will explores our vision for Planetary Intelligence and dives into the future of AI. He talks about how we can align technology with human interests, and the big questions shaping our exploration of the universe. 🎧 Listen to the full episode: https://lnkd.in/eDsKGizu
