Satellite imaging has revolutionized our knowledge of the Earth, with detailed images of nearly every street corner readily available online. But Planet Labs’ Will Marshall says we can do better and go faster — by getting smaller. He introduces his tiny satellites — no bigger than 10 by 10 by 30 centimeters — that, when launched in a cluster, provide high-res images of the entire planet, updated daily.

And the images he shows are ones that could've been taken from an airplane, and the animation in space are cgi.
I'm just describing what I saw
wait a second… Why are you on an polar orbit whereas the iss is on a completely different orbit ?
Area 51?
Dang I’m late on what’s new!!!!! 🤭😳
Genius !!!!!!!!! Wow!!! AMAZING WORK!!!!👍🏾❤️
NASA propaganda.
Privacy,you are going away from us…
ISRO help them put their 88 satellites into orbit
There is no space. No satellites. The one's that are out there are on weather balloons, Wich can't go higher then 70 km. The earth is flat and nobody can break through the Firmament, we have been fooled. Do your research.
We should launch 100 drones over his garage hovering 24 hours a day. I bet if we did he would close his garage door and blacken out his windows. Who has access to all this data?
I don't remember giving him permission to launch his crap into my space to take pictures of my stuff!
Great! Another step forward for the surveillance state! Who O.K.'d this?
The astronauts didn't take that photo, as they never went to the moon. They never left earth.
Also speak about who placed your Satellite into orbit
The Indian Space Research Organization launched 88 of their satellites in a single launch with 16 other satellites. 104 satellites in one launch.
But the reality is spying the earth inch by inch….Indeed for mossad and cia.😂😂😂
Fog of war: disabled
What about security of countries?
What a crock of crap! Anyone who believes this bogus nonsense should eat a bullet because you are too stupid to live. Give Elon Musk a few more billion and he could fake it like everything else he does. Or or dump a trillion into the money pit of NASA… They are great at faking space with CGI and Photoshop.
60 minutes brought me here.
Brilliant.
Is rocket launches real… Are we really having satellites launched in outerspace
Can u provide images of sphere earth to shut flatards
they are not satellite pictures they are high quality pictures from a Nikon camera on a jig hanging out of a planes door
i would use lydar
Sign me up!
3U
Can we access this dataset for our apps and application ?
I have a question to that cube sats sir. and to all of you how long it would last in space 10 years or 20years? if we did nt small satellites makes too long its life span we can create a fleet of that and control the space soon as making for research and maybe space farm too?
So you're basically spying on me
Good job bosssss
Hello and thank you for sharing this video! I would love to work for this company. Is there any chance there is a location in USA around Boston, Ma?
makes spy plane obsolete….
isro launched 88 doves
ISRO sent their 88 satellites on its 104 satellites launch world record.
These satellites sound like they're surveillance satellites.
But they could be used over a period of time to track changes in the shoreline to measure climate change and the melting of the glaciers,
Thanks to indian space nd reasearch organization who launched your 88(total was 104 )sattelite in one go.
okay so what is the website to access all this data?
Privacy is a concern.But I hope they can more accurately predict effects of human activities more accurately now with all that data.
Where is our full picture of the globe then?
Haha flatearthers will choke when they see this!!!
There is more than 200 of them in orbit and the only ones who have access to the images are government agencies and large companies, which pay large sums! Why does he lie about democratic space…Its just like any other business. http://www.bbc.com/news/av/business-40940725/satellites-the-size-of-a-shoebox
