Planet Labs Signs 7-Figure Agreement with Greek Government

Planet Labs Germany announced a 2-year, 7-figure agreement with the Greek government to support the country's National Satellite Space Project. Signed through the European Space Agency on behalf of the Hellenic Ministry of Digital Governance and the Hellenic Space Center, this contract includes numerous data offerings, including near-daily medium-resolution imagery and high-resolution tasking to support a number of broad area monitoring initiatives. This government-wide deal expands the downstream pillar of the Small Satellite Programme into a full-scale operational contract to power the country's National Satellite Space Project. Greek government institutions have access to over a decade of PlanetScope imagery, high-resolution tasking capabilities and access to Planet's Professional Services team. These capabilities will support historical change analysis, trend detection, rapid response during critical events, and the integration of satellite data into national monitoring workflows. Use cases include land management, agriculture, national disaster planning, and forest and water monitoring, among others. "The Hellenic Space Center (HSC) is committed to turning space-based data into a vital tool for national safety and environmental resilience," said Dimitris Bliziotis, Earth Observation Officer at the Hellenic Space Center. "This agreement with Planet provides our scientists and policymakers with an unprecedented baseline of information. It enables us to build sophisticated downstream services that will systematically monitor our forests and agricultural lands, manage our water resources, and bolster our national security with objective, near-real-time insights."
