About the ESA Earthnet Programme

Initiated in 1976, the ESA Earthnet Programme is a “network for Earth,” with the purpose of building an Earth Observation science community to acquire and share knowledge of our planet. Within this programme, Planet joins more than 50 other missions to add near-daily PlanetScope imagery, 50 cm orthorectified SkySat imagery, and RapidEye archive data to this global network.
