High-Resolution Satellites

Planet Labs GmbH will expand its operations in Berlin with a new production line for Pelican satellites, backed by an eight-figure investment. This aims to double high-resolution satellite capacity to meet rising European demand, creating up to 70 jobs. The facility supports rapid deployment of Earth observation capabilities for environmental monitoring, disaster response, and security. This expansion complements Planet’s San Francisco operations and builds on recent agreements with the German government and NATO, reinforcing Germany’s role as a space industry hub.
