Pléiades Neo Satellite Capabilities
Airbus 30cm Very High-Resolution Optical Earth Observation Constellation
Explore Airbus’ next-generation Pléiades Neo satellites delivering advanced very high-resolution optical imagery.
About the Pléiades Neo Earth Observation Satellites
Airbus' Pléiades Neo is a next-generation Earth observation satellite constellation composed of two identical 30cm resolution optical satellites, launched in 2021 to provide ultra-detailed imaging from space.
The Pléiades Neo constellation offers very high-resolution satellite imagery with a daily revisit rate and flexible, rapid tasking capabilities. Positioned in the same orbit, the satellites utilize advanced onboard systems and ultra-fast laser communication links to enable large-scale, high-volume data acquisition and near real-time image delivery. These technical capabilities support a wide range of high-precision applications such as infrastructure monitoring, change detection, disaster assessment, and intelligent mapping.
Designed to serve both commercial and institutional needs, Pléiades Neo supports applications in urban development, mining site analysis, agricultural monitoring, environmental management, artificial intelligence training datasets, and nationwide geospatial mapping projects.
Highest Accuracy
Capture imagery at 30cm resolution with precise geolocation accuracy for infrastructure monitoring and GIS mapping.
Rapid Tasking & Revisit
Daily revisit capabilities with fast tasking ensure up-to-date imagery for time-sensitive and high-frequency monitoring needs.
Reliable Image Acquisition
Optimized satellite operation for consistent, high-success image acquisition across diverse terrain and environmental conditions.
