Launching Planet Pantry: A Delivery Service of Intergalactic Proportions
Like the rest of the world, we at Planet recently watched as SpaceX ushered in the future of human space flight with the successful automated docking of the Crew Dragon capsule to the International Space Station (ISS). This got us thinking: with so many new humans in space, how are we going to feed them and supply them with the necessities of daily life? Since the launch of our first satellite in April 2013, our small satellites have often been compared to a range of commodity goods and appliances: shoe boxes, loaves of bread, microwaves, toasters, pizza boxes, a briefcase, pints (of beer?), mini-fridges, and more. It occurred to us that our Dove satellites could be pulling double duty. Why just take pictures of Earth every day when, on your way to work, you can drop off a pepperoni pizza to hardworking astronauts aboard the ISS?
