Pléiades 50cm Global High-Resolution Satellite Imagery

Pléiades 1A and 1B are the original Airbus high-res optical imaging satellites, operating as a constellation in the same orbit, phased 180° apart. Pléiades 1A was launched on December 17, 2011, 1B on December 2, 2012 – both from Sinnamary, French Guiana. Each satellite has a maximum acquisition capacity of 1 million sq. km per day and has exceptional agility to maximize acquisitions of a specific area of interest using 5 acquisition modes: Target, Strip Mapping, Tristereo, Corridor and Persistent Surveillance. Pléiades 1A was the first high resolution satellite to commercially offer Tri-Stereo capability.

The constellation continues with the new Pléiades Neo 3 and 4, two identical agile imaging satellites adding native 30 cm, improved accuracy, rapid re-visit, constellation collection ~ 1 million km2 per day and 6-band multispectral, including red edge for vegetation health and deep blue for water penetration.
