PLEIADES vs. competitors: technical assets

Mission A constellation of 2 identical Pleiades satellites ensuring daily revisit of any

point of the globe Continuity of service : beyond 2018 Dual mission but…95% of satellite data for worldwide end-users

50% for GE-1, 15-30% for WV1…

Imaging capacity Large imaging capacity: 500,000km2 /day /satellite (roll<30°) Scene size 20 x 20 km with GSD 0.7m vs. 15x15 km with 0.5m for GE or 17 x17

for WV Permanent Pan + XS imaging mode, no « slowdown » Agility: very large mono-pass capacity

Pleiades more agile than GE-1(x2), same as WV Tri-stereo

Pleaides + Spot 6: a bright EO constellation in orbit…very soon

Spot 6 (left) and 2 Pleiades (right) ready to span their wings, phased on the same orbit …with unique advantages:

-coherent data collection planning by Spot Image as unique commercial satellite operator

-2+1 optical LEO systems having same imaging bands and fully compatible ground image reception and processing

-60km swath

-2m ground resolution

-800km corridor view -20km swath
