Pelican is Planet's next-generation high-resolution imaging constellation, designed for sharper imagery, faster tasking, and expanded spectral capabilities. Pelican maintains continuity with SkySat's 50 cm class imagery, but its next-generation architecture sets the stage for Planet to develop additional, high-resolution products.
Presently, Pelican's larger mirrors and optimized optical system allows for 50 cm class resolution at high fidelity. Pelican's larger aperture at lower altitude captures more detail to deliver crisper images that analysts will be able to easily observed. Pelican's expanded spectral range enables deeper analytics, supporting applications across defense, intelligence, natural resource monitoring, and commercial sectors.
Pelican is fully integrated into Planet's unified tasking platform, ensuring seamless access through the API and Tasking Dashboard. With shorter time to collection, expanded tasking windows, and near real-time tasking capabilities, Pelican is set to deliver faster insights and higher-quality intelligence for the world's most demanding applications.
