Earth’s hydrological and biological systems shift on a daily basis with immense complexity. Satellite data from Planet can help track some of the vital characteristics that define the health of our world, including water, vegetation, temperature, and forest carbon.

Planetary Variables render complex Earth observation data from various constellations into actionable measurements, nearly everywhere on the Earth’s landmass. Powered by state-of-the-art remote sensing techniques and honed by a team of award-winning scientists, Planetary Variables provide users with robust measurements of the Earth’s surface.

Planet's forthcoming hyperspectral satellite constellation is intended to provide customers with a level of detail that is unprecedented, enabling them to uncover social, environmental, and climate risks. The Hyperspectral Offering, which is set to launch in 2023, will help businesses and governments change the way they perceive human activities and their economic and environmental effects.

Satellogic's multispectral sensor is equipped with four bands (red, green, blue, and near-infrared), covering a range of wavelengths from 450 to 900 nanometers. The camera's ground sampling distance (GSD) is 1 meter, and its swath width is 5 kilometers.

Satellogic’s hyperspectral cameras gather imagery data with a resolution of 25 meters while orbiting the Earth at an altitude of approximately 475 kilometers. The cameras capture data in 29 spectral bands ranging from visible to near-infrared wavelengths (460 - 830nm), and the resulting imagery is ortho-rectified and ready for use in Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
