Planet and the us federal government
Planet Provides Comprehensive Satellite Imagery and Geospatial Solutions Tailored to the US Federal Government
Planet designs, builds, and operates the largest commercial constellation of imaging satellites globally, and provides medium and high-resolution images of the Earth’s landmass, daily. Uniquely tailored to meet the needs of the US Government, Planet Federal provides access to this comprehensive suite of information.
Observation and Monitoring
Continuous monitoring across large areas
Global Coverage
Monitor borders, remote geographies, and coastal waters
Accessible Intelligence
Non-classified and shareable satellite imagery and data
Agile, Integrated Workflow
Cloud-based processing, simple API, GIS integrations
As geospatial and technological landscapes evolves, so too does the intelligence and imagery requirements of the US Federal Government. Leverage Planet’s actionable data and comprehensive remote sensing imaging of the world, to inform critical decisions, strengthen intelligence assessments, and monitor areas of interest in remote or difficult to reach regions.
Global access
Planet Provides High Resolution Images and Continuous Monitoring of Anywhere on Earth
With Planet Federal, US Government bodies have access to remote sensing technology and information, a visual archive, and PlanetScope’s high cadence monitoring system which provides 3.7 meter resolution images in four multispectral color bands: RGB and Near Infrared.
Gain Unprecedented Capture
Global coverage, greater image capture, higher revisit rates
Rapid Data Access
24 hours from capture to delivery with PlanetScope
Greater Applications
High-quality, medium-resolution satellite imagery can be applied across projects

Maritime data and visibility
Leverage Planet’s Complementary Constellations for Unmatched Visibility of Maritime Areas
Using Planet’s high cadence, high resolution SkySat and PlanetScope constellations in tandem, government analysts can target areas of interest and track moving objects. Planet’s automated Vessel Detection feed fills intelligence gaps relating to maritime activity.
Quantify Carriers
Quantify vessels to establish baseline activity and monitor for deviations and anomalies
Identify Unknown Movements
Query ports and times of interest for unreported or unknown vessel movements
Simplify Monitoring
Track and monitor the movement of vessels in maritime areas
