Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily data and
insights about Earth, today announced its Planet Federal subsidiary
was selected for the NASA Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition
Program (CSDA) On-Ramp1 Multiple Award contract in order to provide
commercial data in support of the agency’s Earth science
research.
The fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity,
multiple-award contract has a performance period through Nov. 15,
2028. The maximum potential value of the multiple-awards under the
IDIQ, cumulatively among all contractors selected, is $476
million.
Planet has been a proud member of the CSDA program since its
inception. Through this contract with Planet Federal, the company
has the opportunity to continue providing NASA with its
industry-leading PlanetScope imagery and the ability for NASA
researchers to access additional Planet products, including
continued access to Planet’s robust archive. Using data from
Planet’s constellation of hundreds of Dove satellites, PlanetScope
images the Earth in high-resolution daily – and has collected more
than 2,700 images on average for every point on Earth’s landmass.
Through the CSDA program, this data has been utilized across a wide
range of applications, including monitoring climate change,
biodiversity loss, disaster responses, and more.
“Planet and NASA have a long history of collaboration,
particularly since our founding team – myself included – got our
starts there. NASA pioneered the use of commercial data to support
pivotal research that has advanced climate science, glaciology, and
more – and it is this spirit of leveraging space and human
ingenuity to improve life on Earth that informs Planet’s mission to
this day,” said Will Marshall, co-founder and CEO of Planet. “We’re
proud to continue building this legacy and making Planet data
available to researchers across the country through our ongoing
partnership together, and are excited to expand on this important
work for another four years to come.”
The CSDA program is a cost-effective means to complement the
suite of Earth observations collected by NASA and other agencies,
as well as international partners, with improved spatial
resolutions, increased temporal frequencies, and other novel
capabilities to unlock emerging scientific research to better
understand our changing planet and drive more actionable
decisions.
