Congrats to Planet on their Halloween launch on the Minotaur Frankenstein!
6 SkySats (formerly part of Google) and 4 Doves took flight this afternoon, to become part of the flock that images the entire Earth every day.

More on the all-Planet payload: “With morning and afternoon constellations working in tandem, we have the ability to monitor areas of interest twice daily in both medium- and high-resolution, and we can capture different types of activities that happen at different times of the day.” https://www.planet.com/pulse/all-in-the-family-planet-to-launch-skysats-and-doves-on-minotaur-c/
