How to Get a Satellite Into Space
Planet is a private company, and they own a fleet of over 200 satellites that takes a picture of the entire earth every day. Will marshall started his career as an engineer at nassau. And while he was there, he and acolli came up with the idea for planet. They knew they'd never be able to get a whole fleet of satellites into space at that price. So they asked themselves what's something that is a lot like a satellite, but much cheaper? We had looked at a phone, am and sedwel, that's got most of the ingredients of a satellite. But also, it doesn't cost a billion dollars.
