    Pléiades Sample Data

    Pléiades data collections consist of up to 0.5 m very-high resolution optical images. The two satellites carry the High Resolution Imager (HiRI), which is capable of acquiring images with a swath of 20 km. Pléiades products are processed to level 1a and level 3.

    Products are available in the following modes:

    • Panchromatic: 0.5 m resolution
    • Multispectral: 2 m resolution

     With the following processing levels:

    • Primary: The Primary product is the processing level closest to the natural image acquired by the sensor. This product restores perfect collection conditions: the sensor is placed in rectilinear geometry, and the image is clear of all radiometric distortion
    • Standard Ortho: The Ortho product is a georeferenced image in Earth geometry, corrected from acquisition and terrain off-nadir effects
    • Tailored Ortho: Aside from the Standard Ortho product, when different specifications are needed, a custom orthorectification, with a more precise 3D model provided by the client or acquired for the purpose, can be provided on demand

    Samples of the Pléiades products are available over La Crau France, which you can use to preview what the data collections offer in order to assess their type and resolution. If you would like to compare Pléiades products with other missions, download sample data from other Third Party Missions.

    Each sample data ZIP file contains a .J2P of the processed product, and specifications of the acquired scene.

    Pléiades data collections

    ESA is offering, for scientific research and application development, access to full archive and new tasking data from Pléiades mission upon submission and acceptance of a project proposal.

    ESA will support as many high-quality and innovative projects as possible within the quota limit available, therefore only a limited amount of products can be made available to each project.

    The following collection is available:

    • Pléiades HiRI archive and new products  

    ESA offers registered users access through the Online Dissemination server to the Pléiades ESA archive. The dataset consists of coverage that ESA has collected during this mission and the dataset continues to grow as new products are added.
