Pléiades ESA archive

The Pléiades ESA archive is a dataset of Pléiades-1A and 1B products that ESA collected over the years. The dataset regularly grows as ESA collects new Pléiades products. Pléiades Primary and Ortho products can be available in the following modes: Panchromatic image at 0.5 m resolution Pansharpened colour image at 0.5 m resolution Multispectral image in 4 spectral bands at 2 m resolution Bundle (0.5 m panchromatic image + 2 m multispectral image) Spatial coverage: Check the spatial coverage of the collection on a map available on the Third Party Missions Dissemination Service. As per ESA policy, very high-resolution imagery of conflict areas cannot be provided.
