High Resolution Imagery Collections – Pléiades 1 Constellation – January to March 2014, India and Surrounding Nations

In this monthly piece, we give our readers a sense of the high-resolution imagery coverage collected over a geography during a specified window. To do this, we pick a high resolution satellite, a defined time period and area of interest, then report key statistics on the total amount of imagery collected in square kilometers (sq km). Without further delay, let’s jump into our analysis.

This map shows the areas imaged by the Pléiades 1 constellation from January 1 to March 31, 2014 over India and the surrounding nations. Please note that in many instances, multiple images were collected over the same area which is difficult to portray on this static map.

Graphic Region of Interest: India and the surrounding nations

Land Mass Covered: 3,539,022.7 sq km

Time Period: January 1 to March 31, 2014

High Resolution Satellites: Pléiades 1A & 1B (a two satellite constellation)

India and Surrounding Nations – Pléiades 1 Constellation Imaging Statistics

Total Area Collected: 3,238,104.7 sq km; 17,989.5 sq km per day / per satellite
