How satellites + AI can protect the planet 🛰
Robbie Schingler, co-founder of Planet, shares the latest from their daily raster scan of every part of our planet from space. I was taking notes from the front row.
Planet's 3rd TED Talk just went live:

Planet x @TEDTalks 🌎🚀
Our Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer @schingler's TED Talk discusses how we’re entering an era of Planetary Intelligence: combining near-daily satellite imagery with AI to transform data into action.
The future isn’t just about just seeing the Earth. It’s about understanding it. Watch now: https://t.co/pOM1aQQv6H
Today's AI is trained on human text. It's fluent in what people have written but blind to the world around it.
At SuperAI Singapore, Robbie @Schingler of @Planet explained why the next foundation model should be trained on the Earth itself: https://t.co/VadPh80rLl
The @TedConferences stage has always been a place for bold ideas about the future, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share @planet vision of Planetary Intelligence.

But our mission is consistent; from the beginning, @Planet has been on a journey to create a new way of seeing Earth, providing an independent source of information about what’s happening around our world every day. 6/7
📍On the Road Panama is complete! The energy was high as we explored how satellite data is driving transparency and action across Latin America.
We began with opening remarks from our Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, @schingler, and our President and CFO, Ashley Johnson.
Then, we heard from our incredible customers and partners including: Ministry of Environment of Panama, Brazilian Forest Service, @policiafederal, CIVIS Bolivia, @naxsolutions, @procalculo and SCCON.
Planet Labs photographs the entire landmass of Earth every day. Co-founder @schingler argues this gives AI a new sensory modality: continuous data on the physical world, not text and images scraped from the internet.
Learn more about @Planet at SuperAI Singapore, 10-11 June.
Quick recap of @planet earnings here. Inc. 41% growth rate and Rule of 40 in Q4 & >$900M in backlog. Very proud of our team.
2026 is the year for AI for Planet. It will unlock markets faster than ever. Playing to Win. Check out our full results here: https://t.co/NYEtrajGdu $PL
It was great being back at my old stomping grounds @NASAAmes to visit with @NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman on how we can develop innovative public private mission architectures to speed time to science. I'm excited for more, faster and upgradable science missions!
@planet@SES_Satellites@NASA Here is more information on the status of @nasa Communication Services Project (CSP) where this @SES_Satellites demo is one of the two demonstrations @planet is supporting for NASA.

With a great partnership between @planet and @SES_Satellites we have demonstrated Ka-band Inter-satellite communications for @nasa. The future of real-time insights, with multi-path communications, is another step closer.
