A Startup’s Constellation of Tiny Satellites is Now Photographing Half of Earth’s Landmass Every Day
“After two years in operation, the satellite-imaging startup Planet tells Quartz it is now photographing more than 50 million square kilometers of the earth every single day. That’s about a tenth of the world’s surface area, or half its landmass. Indeed, in September 2016 alone, the company says it imaged 91 percent of earth’s landmass.”
