From their spacecrafts to their APIs, Andrew Zolli shares how his company, Planet, services the largest fleet of Earth-imaging satellites in orbit and scales a 7+ petabyte imagery archive to monitor the world’s ecosystems, improve humanitarian action and disaster response, transform sustainable development, and advance scientific discovery and artistic expression.
These satellites image our whole planet every day in high resolution, and Andrew’s team makes sure this data is used to its highest and best purposes for humanity.
In this episode, we also get a chance to discuss Andrew’s role at The Garrison Institute as the Chief of Board. Their work as a not-for-profit non-sectarian organization is rooted in the cultivation of caring, insight and courage in individuals, as well as shifts in collective values and worldviews needed to achieve positive social change using contemplative methods.
This episode is truly an inspiring conversation of how traditional wisdom and Aerospace know-how meets Silicon Valley ingenuity.
