Planet, operator of history's largest commercial fleet of satellites, today 
announced three new product releases as part of their overall tasking (

) offerings. Combined, these releases not only enhance the core imagery for 
analysis, but also reduce friction to acquire that data. 

Higher resolution 50 cm imagery. In just six months, Planet successfully 
lowered their SkySat constellation to enhance the spatial resolution of their 
SkySat imagery from 80 cm to 50 cm for our ortho product. This improvement 
enables customers to get a more precise view of changing conditions on the 
ground and adds more granular context to decision-making. This is particularly 
important for commercial and government mapping use cases, where seeing smaller 
features like road surface markings are key. 

Tasking Dashboard. Planet wants to democratize access to their assets, and have 
heard from all their users a desire to have simpler and faster workflows. 
Planet's imaging pipeline and delivery infrastructure have been built in the 
cloud and both the Tasking Dashboard and API are the latest results of that 
foundation. The Tasking Dashboard is a new user interface that allows customers 
to request SkySat collections, while our new API provides efficient, automated 
accessInstead of spending precious time going back and forth with a human rep, 
with the Tasking Dashboard and API, customers can autonomously submit, modify 
and cancel SkySat imagery requests. This enables visibility into the end-to-end 
experience, from order to fulfillment, so expectations can be managed with 
analysts and teams. 

Rapid Revisit: Up to 12x revisit capabilities. While Planet leads the market 
with guaranteed sub-daily revisit, the upcoming launch of six new SkySats will 
allow Planet to image certain locations up to 12 times per day and a global 
average of 7 times per day. This unprecedented capability will provide more 
rapid response to global events and enable imaging at times of the day 
previously unseen by satellites.  

Planet continues to apply an agile aerospace approach to their SkySat offerings 
to support their growing customer base, from federal and civil governments, 
commercial forestry, energy and more. These product advances are key components 
of our overall mission to democratize access to satellite imagery, providing 
critical intelligence to customers and organizations when they need it most.
