On-Orbit Compute
🇺🇸 Planet (@planet) announced landmark technical achievement where it successfully deployed and executed AI-driven object detection directly onboard its Pelican-4 satellite.
"Bigger picture: this is an exciting milestone towards delivering Planetary Intelligence. We’re moving AI from the internet into the physical realm, effectively connecting the ‘eyes’ of our satellites with an onboard ‘brain’ to create a nervous system for the planet."
- Will Marshall, Planet CEO and Co-Founder
