Planet’s Mission Control is a web-based application that empowers spacecraft operators and analysts to monitor, control, and study our growing fleet of satellites.

It is flanked by a number of distributed microservices that handle spacecraft scheduling, tasking, telemetry processing, and similar operational needs.

Together, these services automate much of the day-to-day operations of Planet's fleet of satellites.

You’ll be a part of a team that builds, maintains, and operates these tools.

Our mission is to offer a seamless interface that enables spacecraft operators, analysts, and engineers at Planet to interact effortlessly with our assets in space.

We strive to minimize operational burden, and to automate all aspects of satellite operations.
