SkySat  

Definition

  • The SkySat constellation is the Very High Resolution component of Planet's satellite image portfolio. Skysat-A and B generation satellites were launched in 2013/14. The SkySat-C generation satellite is a high-resolution Earth imaging satellite, first launched in 2016. Eleven are currently in orbit, all collecting thousands of square kilometres of imagery. Each satellite is 3-axis stabilised and agile enough to slew between different targets of interest. Each satellite has four thrusters for orbital control, along with four reaction wheels and three magnetic torquers for attitude control. (en)
