ABOUT MARCUS APEL
Working now for more than 19 years in the Earth Observation Industry, responsible for selling RapidEye and PlanetScope as well as SkySat Satellite Imagery and corresponding services all over the world, the most important part is still our outstanding relationship with our partners and customers who are leveraging the use of our satellite data, helping to make global change visible, accessible, and actionable. This use of satellite data is what makes this job fascinating, if it is having daily scans of all water bodies in Germany to assess water quality parameters like algae blooms, etc, extracting near-daily soil water content or land surface temperatures as well as applying daily dynamic change detection of all kinds of changes in the environment or in urban areas, I am always excited of what is possible today. Our Team of several people, supported by all the departments at Planet, has the honour to take care of our customers and partners in Europe, which is one of our most important territories. With our experience, motivation and blandness, we hope we have been successful so far and our customers and partners are highly satisfied in how we are supporting them. Having said that, we are setting up the future with launching, again, some unique satellite constellations in 20••••26 (Hyperspectral, & VHR 50-30 cm) and beyond more SuperDove satellites which will continuously allow us to nearly cover the entire Earth on a daily basis, with at up to 8 optical bands.
