Interpine in Partnership with Planet Offers

Through its partnership with Planet, Interpine can offer clients the highest resolution and most frequent satellite imagery across all of New Zealand.  Traditional Earth imaging covers only a fraction of the Earth’s surface and is only accessible by a small fraction of people. Planet is changing that. It operates the world’s largest commercial fleet of satellites, daily collecting high resolution imagery, everywhere on Earth.

Rapid Daily Revisits at 3.7m Resolution

With hundreds of Dove satellites in orbit, PlanetScope Monitoring provides a high-resolution, continuous, and complete view of the world from above, every day.

Extensive Archives

In depth historical archives of imagery compliments daily capture for comparative analysis and review.  Access to proprietary datasets back to 2009 and public datasets back to 1972 in one easy desktop explorer.

Tasking High Resolution 50cm GSD

At 50 cm resolution, Planet Tasking provides organizations with real-time intelligence to proactively identify blind spots, anticipate events, and have confidence in the next mission-critical decision.

Analysis Ready Data

Planet Analytics enable your to respond to events with rapid analysis. Detect and classify objects, buildings, roads, review change detection.

Low Latency

Delivery results at the speed of change with a fully automated platform and scalable API’s and webtools.  Imagery captured today viewable today.  Task a Satellite for tomorrow, providing quick access to the data you need.

Seamless Intergrations / Open API

Access data directly inside your GIS of choice with Addins for ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, Google Earth Engine.

Out in Industry

Monitoring our commercial forests e.g. after wind events to check for windthrow, during harvests to monitor progress. It saves a lot of time and money because our forests are located across the whole Canterbury region, so being able to monitor them from the desktop is a very valuable tool. There are only two of us in the forestry team so visiting all forests after wind events is not feasible for us. Aerial imagery is not updated frequently enough to enable the same level of monitoring. We are currently harvesting and being able to monitor progress via the satellite imagery has saved huge amounts of time and money. It is also extremely helpful for seeing the change in rivers over time (e.g. braid location, riverbank, encroachment). This is needed for creating management plans, communicating current state and change overtime with landowners etc”

Pan Pac has found Planet to be an absolute game-changer in the way we do things. It has been beneficial for health and safety of staff as well as the use of staff time. It will be even better once we can access the SkySat (50 cm imagery) more freely.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

Pricing is typically done on a per sq km or hectare basis, and it depends on the scale of the coverage and resolution required.

  • Planet Monitoring (3.7m res) contracts are based on annual subscriptions.
  • Planet Tasking can be ordered with a minimum order of 2500 ha area.
How quickly can I task a satellite to capture a high resolution image?

Normal tasking of SkySat 0.5m resolution can be done on the day of request to start collecting the following day.  There are times of high capacity, but we have not seen this often and if it is cloud free you will have the image the following day.

When do you typically see the daily imagery collected in NZ?

The Planet monitoring daily satellites pass over mid morning each day.
