Planet Labs maintains an active, routine commercial relationship with SpaceX, utilizing SpaceX's Falcon 9 launch vehicles as a primary reliable delivery mechanism to send its small satellites—such as SuperDoves and next-generation monitoring craft—into low Earth orbit. Because Planet frequently deploys large batches of satellites to maintain and upgrade its global constellation, contracting with dependable commercial launch providers like SpaceX ensures cost-effective and precise orbital insertion schedules, supporting the company's continuous operational cadence and data collection capabilities.
