Planet Awarded NASA Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition (CSDA) Evaluation Task Order for Tanager Hyperspectral Data
Planet Labs (NYSE: PL) announced that its subsidiary Planet Labs Federal received a NASA task order to evaluate Tanager hyperspectral data. NASA will acquire data covering more than 250,000 square kilometers, combining recent archive imagery with newly requested coverage. The assessment will examine data quality, reliability and usefulness for Earth science, including atmospheric composition, biodiversity, hydrology and responses to wildfires and floods.The award follows Tanager-2’s October 1, 2026 launch and the capture and release of its first image a week later. A separate U.S. Geological Survey evaluation is examining on-orbit performance and calibration accuracy. NASA will publish a report after its evaluation to help inform decisions on making Tanager data available to the federally funded scientific community.
