  • Planet Labs shipped Pelican-11, a Gen 2 tech-demonstration satellite, to Vandenberg ahead of SpaceX’s Transporter-17 rideshare launch.
  • Pelican-11 will test new Gen 2 technologies and operating concepts before integration into the next Pelican satellites.
  • Gen 2 Pelicans target up to 30 cm-class imagery, an upgrade from Gen 1’s 50 cm-class design.
  • The satellite is not expected to generate commercial data, positioning the mission as R&D to de-risk future fleet deployment.
  • Additional Pelican launches are planned in 2026 and 2027 to support demand for sovereign satellite ownership and high-resolution products.
