Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily data and insights about change on Earth, today announced that they have signed a new contract with the European Space Agency on behalf of the Hellenic Ministry of Digital Governance to support the Greek National SmallSat Programme, funded by the Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF) Greece 2.0. Using Planet’s commercial satellite data, Greece aims to inform and complement the development of their national satellite technology.

Through this contract, Greece will leverage the company’s PlanetScope data to support the development of future downstream services for their national satellite data program, enable technological development, and serve as a complementary data source to their national satellite data feeds.

“The Hellenic Space Center (HSC) is coordinating the provision of Planet’s satellite data, optimizing tasking capabilities, and ensuring seamless integration across the downstream projects of the national satellite program,” said Dimitris Bliziotis, Earth Observation Officer of HSC.

“We are living through a global space renaissance where governments and commercial providers are working hand-in-hand to develop new innovation,” said Martin Polak, Planet’s Senior Director of Government Sales in EMEA. “We’re honored to have signed this contract to inform the new development of Greece’s national space services.”

The company’s PlanetScope satellite data provides a near-daily scan of all of Earth’s landmass at 3 meter resolution. With this high-cadence capture and broad area coverage, Planet offers a robust historical archive of Earth observation data, dating back over a decade, which can enable better, faster decision making by international governments and businesses worldwide.

“Access to Planet’s satellite data will provide valuable data and insights for the development and validation of our national downstream services. This will accelerate innovation and will ensure the effective integration with data from our national space assets,” said Professor Konstantinos Karantzalos, Secretary General of Telecommunications & Post, Ministry of Digital Governance.

Planet has provided their unique satellite data and services to international governments around the globe, securing contracts with ESA’s Third Party Mission programme, which has made this newest contract possible. They have also recently announced a contract with the Japanese Space Agency (through JSAT), to help provide satellite services and technological innovation.
