The Apollo Mapping team is excited to announce that starting on June 4, 2012, we will be accepting orders for high resolution imagery products from Astrium’s new satellite, Pléiades 1A. Launched on December 16, 2011, Pléiades 1A is Astrium GEO-Information Services’ first high resolution satellite. Featuring 50-centimeter (cm) panchromatic and 2-meter (m) 4-band multispectral resolution imagery products, Pléiades 1A has the largest footprint of any high-res satellite at 20 kilometers (km) wide. Pléiades 1A is an agile satellite that will be able to collect mono, stereo and tri-stereo imagery for any mapping project – large or small. With the industry’s largest footprint and enhanced agility, the Pléiades 1A high-resolution imagery archive is sure to grow with leaps and bounds. Pléiades 1A will be joined by its twin satellite, Pléiades 1B, later this year.
Below are Pléiades 1A images collected on April 6, 2012 over Riverside, California. We processed these samples to assure the most accurate colors and crispest features possible, and are happy to share the results with you. We feel the full-resolution previews are impressive and speak for themselves!
