The Biggest Satellite Constellation in the World Just Got Bigger
Call it a Halloween "treat" -- as opposed to a trick.
On Oct. 31, an Orbital ATK Minotaur-C rocket blasted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Its cargo: a payload of 10 imaging satellites going into orbit for one of the biggest satellite companies you've probably never heard of: Planet Labs.
Planet isn't a household name just yet, but it's a name you'll want to get familiar with. Believe it or not, Planet operates the biggest commercial satellite constellation in space today.
