Bitget2026/09/25 13:03- Planet Labs advanced its Gen 2 Pelican program with Pelican-12, featuring upgraded payload and communications systems based on Pelican-11 learnings.
- The satellite is designed to test commercial data relay with a steerable antenna, targeting higher two-way data rates than 1 Mbps achieved in 2025.
- Gen 2 Pelicans target up to 30 cm-class imagery, tightening performance versus the 50 cm-class design of the first-generation Pelican satellites.
- Pelican-12 adds NVIDIA Jetson edge computing to support on-orbit AI, aiming to cut data latency and reduce downlink costs.
