Pleiades NEO

Ensuring permanence of Airbus’ Earth optical imaging service until 2032, the four satellites operate as a constellation, combining a twice-daily visit frequency capability anyday anywhere at a very high resolution 30 cm.

Krótko o głównym

With four identical Pléiades Neo optical satellites launched in 2021 and 2022, Airbus Defence and Space Intelligence brings it’s already leading constellation to the next level, and enters the very high-resolution market, at 30cm resolution.

The genesis of Pléiades Neo comes from the success of its predecessor, Pléiades. This new constellation will guarantee continuity and the quality of service that we provide to our customers, with increased performance to meet tomorrow’s application requirements.

The Pléiades Neo satellites are launched on board Arianespace’s rocket in 2021 and 2022, from Europe’s space port in Kourou, French Guiana.
