NewsTwelve of Planet’s latest-generation SuperDoves, Flock 4p, are scheduled for launch on November 20, 2019, joining the 26 SuperDove prototypes already in orbit. This Flock will hitch a ride on the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), an expendable medium-lift launch vehicle designed and operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). As was recently unveiled at Planet Explore, the SuperDove line features increased spectral bands and major improvements in satellite performance. The Flock 4p satellites have already been integrated into their deployers with the help of our launch integration partners at ISISpace in the Netherlands, and the satellites are now awaiting launch.
