Pelican
Pelican is Planet’s next-generation, high-resolution tasking fleet, designed to support and expand existing SkySat capabilities. Up to 30 Pelican satellites will provide highly detailed imagery at a resolution of 30 cm. This new constellation will efficiently capture fleeting and emerging events, especially those that may anticipate new patterns or risk. Organizations that require up-to-date information to make critical operational decisions can count on Pelican for rapid order and delivery, higher revisit rates, higher accuracy, and a highly complementary service to pair with PlanetScope monitoring or other sensors for comprehensive coverage.
