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. See more on the marketplace or download sample data.

Data productSpectral bands combination
Analytic

Bundle: 1 panchromatic and 6 multispectral bands (deep blue, RGB, red edge, and NIR)

Analytic has a more stable contrast and can be used to extract physical properties, such as radiance or reflectance — for example, in vegetation health monitoring.
Pansharpened Reflectance

6-band: pansharpened (deep blue, RGB, red edge, and NIR)

Pansharpened Reflectance is a pansharpened Analytic image with a multispectral Look-Up-Table containing rendering of color curves.
Display

6-band: pansharpened (deep blue, RGB, red edge, and NIR)

Display has a true color curve applied on top of atmospheric correction. As a result, it looks better visually and can be used to extract features — for example, in car detection or infrastructure monitoring.
Pléiades Neo HD15 Ortho

3-band: pansharpened (RGB)

Pléiades Neo HD15 provides an image with enhanced colors and sharper details for clearer interpretation.

Feasibility study

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.


The combination of parameter values
  • Minimum interval: At least 30 days
  • Acquisition mode: Mono
  • Cloud coverage: From 10% to 20%
  • Incidence angle: From 20% to 50%
