High-Resolution Imagery Collections – Pléiades 1 – Indonesia and Philippines, January to March 2018

This map shows the areas imaged by the Pléiades 1 constellation from January 1 to March 31, 2018 over Indonesia and the Philippines. Please note that in many instances, multiple images were collected over the same area which is difficult to portray on this static map.

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 constellation, 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.

Graphic Region of Interest: Indonesia and Philippines plus off-shore islands

Land Mass Covered: 2,180,911.0 sq km

Time Period: January 1 to March 31, 2018

High-Resolution Satellite Constellation: Pléiades 1 (i.e. Pléiades 1A and 1B)

Pléiades 1 Constellation Imaging Statistics – Indonesia and Philippines
