The Planet Flock Imaging Constellation has been developed by Planet PBC, an Earth imaging company based in San Francisco, California, and it is designed to observe Earth by using a flock of several small satellites to collect images. The different types of satellites flocks forming this constellation are RapidEye, SkySat, and Dove.

Dec 31, 2022 · We are excited to share that we plan to launch 36 of our SuperDove satellites, Flock 4y, on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket no earlier than January 3, 2023 at 9:56 a.m. ET (14:56 UTC). Flock 4y is planned to launch on SpaceX’s Transporter-6 mission from Space Launch Complex 40 in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The Flock earth observing constellation built and operated by Planet Labs (formerly Cosmogia Inc.) consists of numerous triple CubeSats. The Flock-1 and Flock-1b constellations consist of each 28 satellites in medium inclination orbits.

Jan 14, 2025 · We are thrilled to announce today that our high-resolution Pelican-2 satellite and 36 SuperDoves of Flock 4G were successfully launched to orbit on SpaceX’s Transporter-12 Rideshare mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Our Planet team has successfully made contact with Pelican-2 and started its commissioning process.
