We’re taking AI to space with @Google. 🛰️
Project Suncatcher explores putting AI compute in orbit, powered by the sun. Soon, we’ll be sending our first satellite into space to start testing that idea. It’s a new approach to AI infrastructure.
Check out a behind-the-scenes look with the Planet team and our Chief Space Officer, James Mason, featured in @nytimes: nytimes.com/2026/09/24/techn…
