Outer space and earthly answers
summary
Planet Labs is building what it claims is the largest constellation of Earth observing satellites — breadbox‑sized Doves in sun‑synchronous orbit — to image the entire terrestrial surface every day and deliver trillions of pixels a day to 30 ground stations and the cloud. Algorithms detect deforestation, count ships, map refugee camps and estimate carbon loss using ~3‑meter pixels, enabling real‑time indicators and predictive signals for supply chains and ecosystems.
