Overview

Planet Labs provides universal access to information about the changing planet. They will operate the world’s largest fleet of Earth imaging satellites to frequently image the entire planet and provide open access to that information.

Goal

Planet Labs engaged us to develop an iPhone app that demonstrates the unique capabilities of the Planet Labs API to developers. The goal was to create an app that consumers would use on a daily basis.

Solution

Planet News is a native iPhone app that aggregates proprietary satellite imagery and social media to surface news from anywhere on the globe.
