We’ve been awarded an evaluation task order for our Tanager hyperspectral data under @NASA's Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition (CSDA) program. 🛰️

Under this agreement, NASA will acquire and evaluate Tanager data covering 250,000+ square kilometers and explore its potential for advancing Earth science research.

The award comes just weeks after Tanager-2 reached orbit and delivered first light. We’re proud to join NASA in investigating new ways that commercial innovation can drive scientific breakthroughs. Read more here: https://t.co/N2PEfFChYG

Delighted to join Chancellor @_FriedrichMerz on a panel today at the 1st 'Invest in Germany' summit, a few weeks after we opened @planet satellite facility here. He asked why we chose Berlin? Simple: great talent, great partners & a great market.

We’re proud to be here and ready to provide Germany & Europe sovereign satellite services. 🇩🇪 🇪🇺 🛰️ And as @JensenHuang said here, 'the next wave of AI is physical'; enabling real world applications. Space data will be key; from farming, to disaster response, to security, space+ai can help. 🚀

These satellites captured their first images within a week of launch, with SuperDove Flock 4J bolstering our daily scan capability and Tanager-2 marking a major milestone for our Tanager hyperspectral mission with @carbonmapper.

After 40 successful launches of 700+ satellites, we’ve streamlined the time from build to launch to contact and imaging, speeding up time-to-value for partners and customers. Learn more ➡️ https://t.co/ZVkY9k6tKR

@nvidia Pelican-12 headed to orbit, thank you to @SpaceX for the ride! 🚀🛰️

[Planet @planet]

🚀 Launch success: we’ve made contact with Pelican-12, our 25th satellite sent to orbit this year! 🛰️

Along with our earlier mission on October 1, we’ve successfully launched 4 satellite types in a single month.

[Planet @planet]

Pelican-12 is an updated second generation Pelican, designed to provide up to 30 cm class imagery. It has the @nvidia Jetson platform onboard to power edge compute, and will let us test and validate new technologies for future Planet spacecraft.

Huge thanks to our teams and to @SpaceX for another successful launch! https://t.co/FY0r2pxP8F

Fall colors are reaching their peak throughout the US, with forests taking on red, yellow, and orange hues. 🌳 🍁

We captured the vivid foliage across multiple states, reflecting regional variations in geography and forest type.

Our next launch is just days away! 🚀

Next Monday, we’ll be launching Pelican-12, an updated second generation high resolution Pelican, aboard @SpaceX's Bandwagon-5.

Pelican-12 carries the @nvidia Jetson platform to enable on-orbit edge compute. This powers capabilities like AI-driven, near real-time object detection and helps us explore new ways to reduce latency and build towards planetary-scale Earth intelligence.

When Earth observation meets AI, national resilience moves from concept to reality. 🌏

At our Planet UK Conference 2026, leaders across defense, government, and climate gathered in London to explore how Planetary Intelligence solves urgent challenges. Key contributors included speakers from the Scottish and Welsh governments, @osc_london, @Space4Climate, @TheHALOTrust, and @NCEOscience.

How is Planet addressing sovereign demand? Our Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer @schingler addresses this, the promise of large Earth models, and more in @SpaceNews_Inc: https://t.co/ZqWfQvIFkV

[Planet @planet]

We gathered leaders across defense & intelligence, climate, agriculture, policy, and research in London today to explore how satellite data is delivering real-world impact across the UK. 🇬🇧

Before the event, @Will4Planet sat down with @DMiliband to discuss the future of UK sustainability, growth, and security.

A timely image can show responders where the fire is spreading, where to send crews and aircraft, and which communities to warn first - but only if it arrives while those decisions are still being made.

A new initiative to enhance Europe’s satellite infrastructure will help minimize this time from image capture to action significantly. https://t.co/9ZMkX4kqks

🍁 Fall is here, and we’re celebrating the changing seasons with a view of one of the largest and most intricate corn mazes in the U.S.

For the 250th anniversary of the United States founding this year, Cool Patch Pumpkins created this maze featuring three founding fathers (+ a pumpkin obviously 🎃) rocking sunglasses.
