Pléiades imagery is acquired by two very high resolution optical satellites (Pléiades 1A and 1B) daily anywhere on the globe. Catalog datasets are available starting from 2012. See more on the marketplace or download sample data.
The geographic coverage is global.

The tasking capabilities of this collection might require a feasibility study. However, a specific combination of parameter values bypasses that requirement. If input geometry limitations are met, an order with this combination will proceed to the activation request stage after creation:
- Minimum interval: At least 30 days
- Acquisition mode: Mono
- Cloud coverage: From 10% to 20%
- Incidence angle: From 20% to 50%
- Priority: Standard
In a standard delivery, an IMG_ directory contains imagery and uses file naming conventions to indicate the spectral processing of the delivered data product.
