30cm resolution, 6 bands Multispectral > small definition of Multispectrales , Mono, Stereo, Tri-stereo acquisition, Twice daily review

Pleiades Neo is Airbus' most advanced optical constellation with four identical satellites at 30 cm resolution and optimal responsiveness. These satellites are the successor to the Pleiades series. The constellation, which includes a total of 4 satellites, allows for twice-daily revisits of the sites to be acquired. The agility of Pleiades Neo also allows for multi-stereo acquisition in one pass and offers a massive acquisition capacity. This new constellation meets a multiple thematic demand in many fields such as defense, agriculture, urban planning, land use, environment and cartography.
