50cm resolution, mono, stereo and tri-stereo acquisition, daily revisit
With a flight altitude of 694 km and two satellites navigating in opposite directions at 180° on the orbital axis, Pleiades-1A and Pleiades-1B, launched successively in December 2011 and December 2012, represent a high-level alternative or complementary offer in terms of agility and technical quality. The two satellites with three axes of rotation have exceptional maneuverability with a very large acquisition capacity
Simultaneous acquisition of 700,000 km² per day and a very high revisit rate.
With features such as tri-stereo imaging, Pleiades is an exceptional choice for optimal image quality. The constellation meets a multiple thematic demand in many fields, from agricultural needs to the exploration of natural resources and environmental preservation.
