88 satellites being launched will image the entire Earth daily
This Valentine's Day the planet Earth is getting a present.
San Francisco based imaging startup, Planet, is launching 88 satellites into orbit.
These satellites gather information by photographing the planet daily so that people can see the changes that are happening throughout the planet and react to them.
The 88 satellites will be their largest fleet ever launched, but they won't be alone. They're being launched in an Indian PSLV rocket along with 15 additional satellites not belonging to Planet.
If the launch is successful Planet will operate more satellites than any other company in the world with 143.
The launch will also mean Planet can image the entire earth daily, whereas right now they're only imaging about a third of the earth daily.
The launch is taking place in India on Valentine's Day.
