    Satellite Design

    The Pléiades Neo programme followed the Pléiades programme satellite series, introducing advanced technologies in Earth observation.

    The implementation of a reactive tasking and delivery mechanism with a tasking plan updated every 25 minutes (15 plans every day for each satellite) allows for new acquisition requests to be submitted up to 15 minutes before the plan is uploaded.

    The constellation is designed to obtain high resolution imagery (30 cm resolution), new spectral bands (red-edge and deep blue, in addition to all the bands Pléiades can acquire), high revisit capacity (twice a day), largest global coverage capacity (up to 2 million km2 every day), reactive tasking and delivery (tasking plan updated every 25 minutes).
