Pleiades is a two-spacecraft constellation of CNES, introducing advanced technologies in EO. Starting with the first launch in 2011, the Pleiades programme follows the SPOT satellite series services. The identical twin satellites deliver very-high optical resolution imagery (0.5 m) and offer a daily revisit capability to any point on the globe. ESA offers worldwide access to Pleiades 1A/1B data (both archive and new tasking) via the TPM scheme. Read more
