ABOUT MARCUS APEL
Working now for over 15 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 finding endangered malaria areas, examining invasive species in protected habitats, or supporting the International Charter in crisis situations in rapidly delivering recent maps to rescuers, I am always wowed about what is possible. 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 2020, 2021 and beyond which will continuously allow us to cover the entire Earth on a daily basis in 3-4m resolution, now with 5-8 optical bands.
