European Space Agency Selects Planet to Develop Slovenia's Space Resilience Node for Disaster Relief

The European Space Agency (ESA) has chosen Planet's subsidiary Sinergise Solutions to build the Slovenia Space Resilience Node (SRN). This 12-month pilot project, part of ESA's European Resilience from Space Earth Observation program, will create a prototype to automate the link between wide-area satellite change detection and high-resolution imaging for Slovenia's Administration for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief. The system will autonomously analyze open Copernicus data and PlanetScope imagery, triggering high-resolution tasking requests when anomalies are detected to provide rapid situational awareness for crisis management.
