Planet Labs PBC announced an eight-figure, multi-year contract renewal with a long-standing international defense and intelligence customer.

This renewal builds on Planet's recent defense sector growth, including contracts with agencies such as the German government, NATO, the US Department of Defense, US Navy, and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
