Planet Labs

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.

Planet Labs Germany is hosting “Planet On The Road” in Berlin on September 24, 2025, bringing together Earth observation leaders. The event features keynotes, panels, and discussions on leveraging satellite technology and data analytics across sectors like agriculture, disaster response, and finance. Speakers from Planet, Bayer, DLTR, and other organizations will address challenges and opportunities in EMEA. Sessions will cover the EU Space Act, AI applications, and innovative uses of Planet’s high-frequency imagery. Registration is open until September 17, 2025..
