Planet's Satellite Imagery and Missions

The video discusses Planet's mission to image the entire Earth daily using satellites, making this data accessible to democratize information. It highlights the impact of this imagery on agriculture, mapping, and disaster response. The introduction of Planet Stories allows users to access up-to-date imagery. The next mission involves using AI to index objects on Earth, creating a searchable database. The ultimate goal is a 'Queryable Earth,' where users can query data about the planet's objects and changes over time.
