Airbus’ new 30-centimeter (cm) Pléiades Neo constellation is live and ready for commercial purchase! The two satellites, Neo 3 and Neo 4, will double the 30-cm resolution imagery currently available by collecting some 500,000 square kilometers of 30-cm data per day, per satellite. With plans to launch two more identical satellites in the near future, Pléiades Neo will be the most-robust high-resolution satellite constellation on the market, capable of imaging the same area twice a day at 30-cm.
Along with the 30-cm panchromatic band, Neo has six 1.2-meter resolution multispectral bands, including blue, green red, near infrared, deep blue and red edge. Pléiades Neo is ideally situated for new 30-cm collections while it quickly amasses an archive of historical data.
Airbus is still working on integrating Neo imagery into their API and firming up per square kilometer price. That said, we expect to have archive and tasking pricing by the time you read this Geospatial Times article.
