Planet Labs is launching the largest ever fleet of Earth-imaging satellites in December. These will enable high resolution imagery of the entire planet to be taken on a more frequent basis. The data is of large potential value: humanitarian applications range from monitoring deforestation and the ice caps to disaster relief and improving agriculture yields in developing nations.
