Metaspectral has announced a partnership with Planet Labs to deliver spectral intelligence from Planet’s hyperspectral satellite data.

The deal will see Metaspectral provide AI-powered analytics for data from Tanager, Planet’s hyperspectral satellite constellation.

According to Metaspectral, ‘planetary intelligence’ derived from Planet data is emerging as a new model for understanding the physical world: continuous sensing, real-world data, AI-assisted analysis, and decision support.

Metaspectral’s Clarity AI platform “provides the intelligence and infrastructure to convert imagery into science-based spectral evidence for monitoring, change detection, and high-consequence decisions across agriculture, forestry, and environmental monitoring,” the company says.

“Tanager gives organisations access to a new level of spectral information from orbit,” said Francis Doumet, CEO of Metaspectral.

“Our partnership with Planet is focused on deriving intelligence from hyperspectral analysis-ready data and transforming it into science-based evidence for high-confidence, high-consequence decisions.”

Tanager‘s hyperspectral coverage provides additional intelligence beyond legacy multispectral imagery, particularly in monitoring contexts where subtle changes in material-level evidence matter.

“Tanager expands the scope of what organisations can monitor from orbit by capturing rich hyperspectral observations across broad wavelength ranges,” said Linds Panther, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Planet.

“Metaspectral’s Clarity platform translates those observations into spectral intelligence, supporting applications where monitoring, change detection, and decision confidence are critical.”
