The Untold Story of Space
summary
Planet operates roughly 200 satellites that image the entire Earth landmass once per day plus ~20 higher-resolution craft that can zoom to 50 centimeter resolution up to 10 times per day, producing about 10x more imagery than five years ago. That data surfaces specific, verifiable events: a bridge-building buildup contradicting official withdrawal claims, documented grain theft out of Ukraine, a BuzzFeed-led expose of ~300 detention sites, a global coral-reef map triggering new marine protections, and forestry monitoring that helped one country increase enforcement actions from ~800 to ~8,000. Hyperspectral sensors and AI detection for emissions, crops, roads and bombed hospitals are next.
