RapidEye was a German geospatial information provider that operated a constellation of five Earth-observation satellites, which were later acquired by Planet Labs. The satellites provided 5-meter resolution imagery and were designed to assist in management decision-making through services based on their imagery. RapidEye's satellites were the first commercial satellites to include the red-edge band, which is sensitive to changes in chlorophyll content, assisting in vegetation health monitoring. The constellation was decommissioned by Planet Labs in 2020.
