The unprecedented amount of Earth imaging data our entire fleet collects enables global analytics of planetary activity and resources. Over the last 10 years, rocket launches have dropped in price and increased in frequency while satellites have dramatically decreased in size, allowing for greater numbers of satellites to be launched on each rocket. This first launch under our latest rideshare agreement with the launch provider marks an important moment in the current space renaissance. To date, we’ve launched 83 satellites with SpaceX across seven launches. Flock 4x will provide the PlanetScope constellation with the latest and strongest capabilities to help meet customer needs,” said Planet CEO Will Marshall. Their reliability and leadership in the launch market makes them a natural choice for this mission. “We are thrilled to be launching our latest flock with SpaceX. SpaceX’s Transporter 3 rocket on launch pad in Cape Canaveral, Florida on January 12, 2022.
This unprecedented capability provides our customers with daily data about Earth resources and global events. The PlanetScope constellation images every terrestrial landmass on Earth by covering 350 million km² each day, providing images with approximately 3 meter per pixel resolution. Flock 4x is set to replenish our existing SuperDove fleet which makes up a portion of the larger constellation.
With this launch, Planet will have more than 200 satellites in orbit. This marks the first satellite launch under our new multi-year, multi-launch rideshare agreement with SpaceX.
Planet’s Flock 4x, consisting of 44 SuperDove satellites, is set to launch this Thursday, January 13th on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Transporter-3 SSO.
