Pléiades Neo

Very high resolution 15 cm optical satellite imagery, acquired worldwide with a revisit rate of 2 times a day. The collection contains data from 2021 to the present.

Overview

Pléiades Neo imagery is acquired by very high resolution optical satellites (Pléiades Neo 3 and 4) daily anywhere on the globe. Catalog datasets are available starting from November 2021.

Additional information

Feasibility study automation

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
  • Maximum cloud coverage: Up to 10% or 20%
  • Incidence angle: From 20% to 50%

Delivery structure

In a standard delivery, an IMG_ directory contains imagery and uses file naming conventions to indicate the spectral processing of the delivered data product.
