One of the Flock 4Q SuperDoves launched on Transporter-9, contributing to Planet's constellation of 200+ active satellites providing daily 3-meter global coverage. Flock 4Q-9's imagery is indistinguishable in capability from its siblings — the value of the Planet constellation lies not in any individual satellite but in the aggregate daily-revisit coverage the full fleet provides together.
