Ensuring Economic Stability And Protecting Natural Resources In Chile

Chile’s unique geography poses a challenge for policymakers who need up-to-date, detailed information about ground conditions over vast areas to inform their decisions. Planet's daily global imagery and key remote sensing data support diverse programs across defense, disaster management, and natural resource agencies to help enable faster decisions and data-driven policies.

HIGH-FREQUENCY, COUNTRYWIDE DATA

Planet can provide countrywide, intradaily coverage, which can reduce the need for aircraft or individual resources.

SCALABLE

Planet’s cloud-first APIs allow you to build applications quickly that scale across Chile's various regions.

EASE OF USE

View and download imagery directly in your browser, or integrate with your existing GIS tools.

SUPPORTING COUNTRYWIDE EFFORTS

Planet has collaborated with Chilean government entities, including the National Geology and Mining Service (SERNAGEOMIN), for several years, providing support to emergency services during natural disasters. Furthermore, we actively participate in the National Satellite Service project, supplying HiRes imagery.

Defense and Inteligence

One of Chile's main priorities is to monitor its borders with Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. For this reason, the Chilean Air Force (FACh), responsible for leading these operations, aims to increase the frequency of high-resolution (HiRes) tasks by utilizing high-resolution satellite images from Planet to optimize its performance.
