PL•Planet Labs launched a Project Suncatcher demo satellite developed with Google to test Tensor Processing Units in orbit.
1. Satellite demonstration
Planet Labs launched a Project Suncatcher demo satellite developed with Google to test Tensor Processing Units in orbit. The collaboration targets in-space machine learning compute, potentially shifting more analytics from ground systems to satellites.
2. Hyperspectral monitoring
Separately, Planet deployed Tanager-2, built with Carbon Mapper, to expand hyperspectral monitoring; at least three more are planned.
