Join us for a 30-minute webinar on October 9 at 10:00 a.m. PT to explore Forest Carbon Monitoring, a cutting-edge Planetary Variable designed to transform forest analysis. With data on aboveground forest carbon, tree height, and canopy cover estimates, this dataset lets you: - Leverage measurements derived from high-resolution satellite imagery combined with global airborne and spaceborne LiDAR data. - Monitor global portfolios with 3-meter resolution, updated quarterly. - Track both large-scale events like wildfires and single large tree selective harvests with precision. Discover how this tool can support voluntary carbon markets and jurisdictional programs with transparent, high-quality data for assessing forest change. Stick around for a live Q&A with a Planet product expert to get your questions answered! Register now: https://lnkd.in/gfpztaBm If you miss the live event, we'll send you the recording afterward!

Our partner, Netherlands Geomatics & Earth Observation B.V. (NEO), is leveraging the Planet Insights Platform to enhance compliance with the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) requirements. The Planet Insights Platform has significantly enhanced NEO’s monitoring capabilities. The number of monitored fields has increased by 25% compared to their previous dataset, and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) has expanded its monitored parcels from 650,000 to 1 million. “Our partnership with Planet has great value for us,” said Henk Janssen, Project Manager and Consultant for Earth Observation and Geomatics at NEO. “By combining our skills with Planet’s capabilities, we can prepare for the future and scale up our competencies. This ecosystem approach is vital for building robust monitoring systems that can support the evolving needs of agricultural policy in the EU.” Read about their projects in our blog: https://lnkd.in/giqqhZ-s Hear more from Henk Janssen in this video:

This week, we are continuing our Planet Hispanic Heritage Month Employee Spotlights! Today, we are celebrating Nathalie Vilchis, Planet’s System Test Engineer for the Smallsat Constellation. She develops and performs integration tests from board level to the full spacecraft system. “I feel fortunate to be surrounded by brilliant space-nerd engineers in my daily work. I am also grateful for the vibrant communities of Women and Latinxs in the space industry that constantly support and empower me.” Keep an eye out next week for more Hispanic Heritage Spotlights.

This Gandhi Jayanti, we're honoring Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy of peace, justice, and sustainability. 🕊️ In recognition of Gandhi’s contributions to humanity, we explored how the Planet data can support his vision in modern times. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/gSatYWTb

Today, we are thrilled to launch Project Centinela, a new program aiming to equip the world’s leading biodiversity scientists and conservation advocates with Planet’s unprecedented array of high-resolution, high-frequency satellite imagery, and analytic feeds. Over the next three years, the program will help support teams working at the forefront of the biodiversity crisis to monitor and safeguard up to 50 of the world’s vulnerable biodiversity hotspots. At its onset, Project Centinela has already engaged teams in 8 biodiversity-vulnerable locations across the globe (see below!).

Planet might focus on looking at Earth most of the time, but that doesn’t mean we don’t know some bright stars when we see them! This year, we welcomed 12 talented Space Systems interns to our San Francisco office, and they truly made a stellar impact!  They’ve been on a trajectory for mission success since day one—contributing to everything from vibration testing to materials design for our satellites. We couldn’t be more proud of the impact they’ve made. Thank you for your hard work, creativity, and enthusiasm. We can't wait to see where your careers will take you! Congratulations Planet 2024 Summer Intern Class! Ad astra 🚀
