Planet Federal equips US Federal Civilian Agencies, the Department of Defense, and Intelligence Community with real-time satellite data and intelligence required to monitor and respond to global changes.
Planet and the us federal government
Planet designs, builds, and operates the largest commercial constellation of imaging satellites globally, and provides medium and high-resolution images of the Earth’s landmass, daily. Uniquely tailored to meet the needs of the US Government, Planet Federal provides access to this comprehensive suite of information.
Continuous monitoring across large areas
Monitor borders, remote geographies, and coastal waters
Non-classified and shareable satellite imagery and data
Cloud-based processing, simple API, GIS integrations
As geospatial and technological landscapes evolves, so too does the intelligence and imagery requirements of the US Federal Government. Leverage Planet’s actionable data and comprehensive remote sensing imaging of the world, to inform critical decisions, strengthen intelligence assessments, and monitor areas of interest in remote or difficult to reach regions.
With Planet Federal, US Government bodies have access to remote sensing technology and information, a visual archive, and PlanetScope’s high cadence monitoring system which provides 3.7 meter resolution images in four multispectral color bands: RGB and Near Infrared.
Global coverage, greater image capture, higher revisit rates
24 hours from capture to delivery with PlanetScope
High-quality, medium-resolution satellite imagery can be applied across projects
