Timeline (last 90 days)
Organizations such as Bellingcat and 38 North have long used high-resolution imagery provided by commercial satellite operators including Planet Labs and Maxar to track developments at North Korea's nuclear facilities, missile launch activities, and the expansion of labor camps.
A prototype satellite from Google and Planet Labs has been successfully launched into orbit, with SpaceX performing the launch and achieving booster recovery landing.
Planet Labs' Dove-series satellite constellation can complete one full-coverage image capture of Earth's land surface per day, generating several TB to PB of imagery data daily.
In this mission, SpaceX provided launch services and recovered the booster, Planet provided the satellite platform, and Google contributed computing power and the computing concept.
ESA's Sentinel-2 satellite provides 10-meter resolution multispectral imagery, the Planet Labs satellite constellation can achieve global daily coverage at 3-meter resolution, and NASA's GEDI lidar mission can measure forest canopy height and biomass.
