announced three new product releases as part of their overall tasking (

) offerings. Combined, these releases not only enhance the core imagery for

analysis, but also reduce friction to acquire that data.

Higher resolution 50 cm imagery. In just six months, Planet successfully

lowered their SkySat constellation to enhance the spatial resolution of their

SkySat imagery from 80 cm to 50 cm for our ortho product. This improvement

enables customers to get a more precise view of changing conditions on the

ground and adds more granular context to decision-making. This is particularly

important for commercial and government mapping use cases, where seeing smaller

features like road surface markings are key.

Tasking Dashboard. Planet wants to democratize access to their assets, and have

heard from all their users a desire to have simpler and faster workflows.

Planet's imaging pipeline and delivery infrastructure have been built in the

cloud and both the Tasking Dashboard and API are the latest results of that

foundation. The Tasking Dashboard is a new user interface that allows customers

to request SkySat collections, while our new API provides efficient, automated

accessInstead of spending precious time going back and forth with a human rep,

with the Tasking Dashboard and API, customers can autonomously submit, modify

and cancel SkySat imagery requests. This enables visibility into the end-to-end

experience, from order to fulfillment, so expectations can be managed with

analysts and teams.

Rapid Revisit: Up to 12x revisit capabilities. While Planet leads the market

with guaranteed sub-daily revisit, the upcoming launch of six new SkySats will

allow Planet to image certain locations up to 12 times per day and a global

average of 7 times per day. This unprecedented capability will provide more

rapid response to global events and enable imaging at times of the day

previously unseen by satellites.  

Planet continues to apply an agile aerospace approach to their SkySat offerings

to support their growing customer base, from federal and civil governments,

commercial forestry, energy and more. These product advances are key components

of our overall mission to democratize access to satellite imagery, providing

critical intelligence to customers and organizations when they need it most.
