It's more frequent than that. From the public image spec:

> The complete PlanetScope constellation of approximately 130 satellites is able to image the entire land surface of the Earth every day (equating to a daily collection capacity of 200 million km²/day).

Since then the constellation has grown; after last month's launch the contstellation is over 200 satellites: https://www.planet.com/pulse/so-you-launched-a-satellite-now...

Thanks- that's... a lot more than the last time I checked. It's been a few years since my work required me to be up to date with any of this.

That's some pretty amazing progress.

A quick glance of the site doesn't immediately define med or high res. Do you have frequency of coverage by resolution listed somewhere?

There is now a tasking product for high resolution imagery, with multiple visits per day capability: https://www.planet.com/products/hi-res-monitoring/
