Planet Labs

Planet Labs PBC designs, builds and operates a fleet of Earth-observation satellites and sells satellite imagery and geospatial data; it is a public benefit corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange S-1700. Its imagery is one of the commercial inputs available for remote detection of data centres:

• A Federation of American Scientists report on tracking AI data centres with satellite imagery names Planet Labs, with Airbus and Vantor, as commonly used sources of paid commercial imagery S-1409.
• Planet reports that in August 2026 it renewed an agreement with a "hyperscaler AI developer" for global monitoring of data centres and of semiconductor-fab construction S-1700. It says its high-resolution Pelican imagery tracks construction milestones at these sites, which it calls indicators of "supply chain health and computing capacity" S-1700.
