Planet Labs launched three additional Pelican high-resolution satellites on 3 May.
Planet Labs became the first New Space company to turn profitable on EBITDA and free cash flow bases in late 2025.
KEY POINTS
- Pelican satellites use Nvidia Jetson AI hardware for onboard image analysis before downlinking results to Earth.
- Planet signed a €240 million German government contract for dedicated Pelican satellite capacity in 2025.
- Pelican's next generation, launching in 2026, will provide 30 centimetre resolution and up to 30 daily revisits.
- More than 90 percent of Planet’s revenue now comes from recurring subscription data feeds, not single image sales.
