After spinning out of NASA in 2010, Marshall built and now operates the largest satellite constellation in history — roughly 200 spacecraft that image the entire Earth daily, supplying governments, farmers, and investigators with data that has tracked Russian troop movements and documented human rights abuses.
Will Marshall co-founded Planet Labs in 2010 with fellow NASA Ames scientists Chris Boshuizen and Robbie Schingler and runs it as CEO.
The company operates roughly 200 small satellites that image the entire Earth daily, serving governments, farmers, insurers, and scientists. Planet went public via SPAC in 2021, and its imagery has been used to track Russian military movements in Ukraine, document illegal fishing, and monitor deforestation.
