- dplarson 12y agoI knew I recognized the name "Planet Labs"; they're the company whose CubeSats (or at least some of them) were accidentally launched [0]. I wonder how the accidental launches impacted their timeline (e.g. were they able to retrieve the CubeSats and re-launch).

- patrickyeon 12y agoHi, I work for Planet Labs. There was definitely no retrieving those Doves once they were deployed, even had we wanted to. The good news is that we've put a lot of effort into automating our systems, so those satellites actually pinged us shortly after their deploy and were all ready for commissioning! They're currently a few hundred kilometres up and taking photos for us.
