When fully operational, the Pelican constellation replenishes and upgrades Planets existing high resolution SkySat fleet with better resolution, more frequent image revisit times, and reduced reaction time and latency.

Key Points: 
  • When fully operational, the Pelican constellation replenishes and upgrades Planets existing high resolution SkySat fleet with better resolution, more frequent image revisit times, and reduced reaction time and latency.
  • The Fusion line will now include SAR (synthetic aperture radar) data, enabling customers to see through clouds with a datastream of continuous landscape monitoring.
  • When fully operational, the Pelican fleet will exceed SkySats market-leading global intraday revisit frequency of up to 10 times.
  • Planet will now merge SAR data from Sentinel 1 into the Fusion line, providing improved sensing to customers in the agricultural sector.
