Pléiades Neo
Pléiades Neo is the most advanced optical constellation of Airbus, with four identical 30cm resolution satellites with ultimate reactivity. Entirely funded, manufactured, owned, and operated by Airbus, Pléiades Neo is a breakthrough in the Earth Observation domain.
Its sensors capture Deep Blue, Blue, Green, Red, Red Edge, and Near-Infrared bands, at resolutions of 30 cm for Panchromatic, and 1.2m for Multispectral.
Offering an ideal trade-off between coverage, resolution, and speed, Pléiades Neo products are especially useful for applications in defense, civil protection, hazard management, urban mapping, precision agriculture, and network and infrastructure administration.
Apart from Archive imagery, with Airbus One Tasking you can order Pléiades Neo imagery on specific dates you need, over the area of interest of your choice! Three plans are available:
Tasking OnePlan, with which you select your timeframes, dates, and preferred acquisition parameters, and our team ensure you receive the right qualified coverage, perfectly matching your project milestones.
Tasking OneNow, with which you obtain the information you need in the shortest timeframe. When immediate imagery is required, our satellites can be tasked to deliver valuable insights in the shortest possible timeframe.
Tasking OneDay, with which you obtain the imagery you need on a pre-specified acquisition day. When you need imagery on a specific day, our satellites can be tasked with the highest priority to deliver the insight you need. 24 hours before your acquisition date, you receive a weather forecast to let you confirm, postpone or cancel your request at no cost.
In this way, you can be provided with answers and support in any situation exactly when and where you need it: from the most basic map update up to emergency response, land use analysis, mission planning, or frequent insights through reliable monitoring.
