Ubiquitous Satellite Imagery of our Planet
summary
Planet Labs launches ultra‑compact 10×10×30 cm imaging satellites, first two demos flown in April with the fastest processors and more memory than previous craft, returning images that resolve individual trees and river shifts. In December thirty satellites deploy from the ISS to image the entire planet frequently, producing a torrent of data served via a web‑based open API for developers, with hackathons planned and ambitions to count every tree and enable many operational applications.
