One of the most exciting parts of sending our satellites up to orbit is the first light imagery! Check out these images from our latest Pelican launch. đ¸ đ°ď¸
The satellites captured landscapes around the globe, showcasing the city of Taiyuan, China, the rice fields of Ambursu, Nigeria, and agricultural lands on Swedenâs Gotland Island.
And lastly, one of these Pelicans was @forsvarsmakten 's first ever sovereign satellite! Follow along, the next launch will be here soon.
Nestled in the agricultural land of Argentinaâs CĂłrdoba Province is an unlikely sight: a forest in the shape of an acoustic guitar. Pedro MartĂn Ureta began the planting for this decades-long project in 1979 to memorialize his wife: over 40 years later, the forest remains a beautiful and moving tribute.

Sydneyâs Port Jackson is one of the world's deepest natural harbors, formed when an ancient river valley was slowly submerged by rising seas. This capture from our Pelican constellation shows a metropolis profoundly influenced by its waterways, with the Sydney Harbour Bridge visible against a backdrop of maritime traffic.

In Barcelona, geometrically and historically distinct urban forms coexist. In this capture from our Pelican constellation, the rigid superblocks of Eixample contrast with the winding streets of El Raval. The city is legendary for its architectural diversity and innovative design, visible even from orbit.

You think you know Premier League stadiums, until you see them from orbit. â˝
Premier League stadiums are among the most iconic in the sport. From Evertonâs waterfront Hill Dickinson Stadium to Arsenalâs urban Emirates Stadium, these grounds are as varied as the teams that call them home.
@theathletichq took to the skies to analyze stadiums from a new perspective, and thereâs no better way to capture the view than with our imagery! Check out the full article at the link in our bio.

As Europeâs spring arrives, fields throughout the Netherlands are taking on the bright hues of peak tulip bloom. Our SkySat constellation captured this colorful view of Lisse, about 15 kilometers away from our office in Haarlem! đˇ

Seen from orbit, the Gulf Coast section of Floridaâs Everglades is a tangled mosaic of mangrove islands, brackish channels, and sediment flows. The visual chaos of this region is a testament to its ecological complexity: this is one of the most dynamic and biodiverse areas in the country! đ

River deltas are among the Earthâs most dynamic landscapes, and serve as vital connections between inland waterways and marine environments. Continuously shaped and reshaped by the flow of water, these intricate systems display sprawling, branching patterns that change with seasons, tides, and sediment levels.
PlanetScope imagery shows the diversity of these landscapes, from the channels of Russiaâs Lena River, to the heavily sedimented waters of Madagascarâs Betsiboka River, and the green wetland networks of the Indus River Delta in Pakistan.

Over the past month, the ongoing eruption of Piton de la Fournaise has been altering the landscape of RĂŠunion Island, offering views of geologic forces at work. This shield volcano can erupt multiple times a year, making it among the most active in the world.
Captured by our SkySat constellation, these images provide a look at the volcano's central crater as it transforms over a several-day window. đ

The Bahamian Archipelago is defined by its unique underwater topography. Across the region, vast, shallow limestone platforms abruptly give way to deep drop-offs, creating striking and sudden contrasts in water color.
Pictured here is Grand Bahama and its surrounding cays, which sit atop the expansive Little Bahama Bank. These low-lying islands and the surrounding reefs help buffer wave energy from the open Atlantic, sheltering reef flats and tidal channels. đ 𪸠đ

While glaciers around the world retreat, Alaskaâs Hubbard Glacier is a rare outlier: it is actively advancing. From our orbital point of view, the massive tongue of the largest tidewater glacier in North America is visible as it pushes into the waters of Disenchantment Bay.
