The phones in our pockets, drones in the air, satellites in space...what do they all have in common? They’re all distributed sensor networks—collecting streams of data about our daily lives, our businesses and our planet. We here at Planet have often said our satellite imagery, while insight-rich, will only reach its full potential when combined with other unique data streams and services. That’s why we’re excited to announce something that’s been a long time coming...the integration of Dove data into some of the consumer market’s most widely used remote sensing platforms...social media. Now GIS experts, governments, nonprofits, and the public can combine Planet’s satellite data with the data sets that power their lives: social data.
