space
Planet Germany has selected Isar Aerospace to launch a Pelican Earth observation satellite aboard a Spectrum within the next 12 months. In July 2025, the German government awarded Planet a €240 million multi-year contract to provide dedicated capacity from its Pelican satellites over specific European regions. This was followed by an announcement in September 2025 that the company would break ground on a new satellite manufacturing facility in Berlin to build its Pelican satellites. The German-based subsidiary of Planet Labs has selected Isar Aerospace to launch one of the company’s Pelican Earth observation satellites aboard a Spectrum rocket. The companies plan to complete the launch in less than 12 months.
