Description:

The Flock earth observing constellation built and operated by Planet Labs (formerly Cosmogia Inc.) consists of numerous triple CubeSats.
The majority of the satellites featured a standard RGB imagging system, but five satellites were fitted with experimental systems working in different optical spectral bands.
