Presentation Details
Planet has the ambitious goal of imaging everywhere on earth once per day with a fleet of small satellites. Now with over 100 operational satellites, Planet is collecting over a hundred million square kilometers of remote sensing data every day and for the first time we are able to take actions based on the daily changes that we observe. In addition to this unique data set, Planet has taken an 'API-first' approach to distributing data, allowing our users to build their own applications or integrations directly on our platform services. Safe Software's own Planet transformer is a great example of this kind of integration, giving FME users easy access to Planet's growing archive of satellite imagery.
