Pléiades Neo at GEOINT Symposium 2024 in in Florida, United States


Exploring Advanced Geospatial Technologies


From May 5th to May 8th, 2024, the GEOINT Symposium will take place at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Conference Center in Florida, United States, offering a premier platform for discussing the latest in geospatial intelligence and Earth observation technologies. Airbus will be present at booth 1619, where attendees can interact with experts and explore how to integrate highly accurate optical, radar, and elevation products into their workflows. Live demonstrations of the OneAtlas geospatial platform will be available, showcasing easy access to very-high resolution archive data and satellite tasking services, as well as the newly improved OneAtlas Basemap.


Advanced Earth Observation with Pléiades Neo


Advanced Earth observation with Pléiades Neo represents a significant leap in remote sensing technology, offering unprecedented 30 cm resolution imagery with exceptional geolocation accuracy. This constellation, exclusively developed and managed by Airbus, enables rapid tasking and revisits any point on Earth at least daily. With advanced silicon carbide optical instruments and inter-satellite links, it provides emergency acquisitions within 40 minutes. Pléiades Neo's very-high resolution imagery enhances analysis for diverse applications, from natural hazard assessment to urban planning.


  1. Cutting-Edge Technology: Airbus has achieved a remarkable advancement in Earth observation with the launch of its Pléiades Neo satellites. This constellation, exclusively financed, manufactured, owned, and managed by Airbus, marks a significant milestone in remote sensing capabilities for commercial, institutional, and governmental users. Comprising two identical spacecraft, each with a high resolution of 30 cm, the Pléiades Neo constellation offers rapid tasking and the ability to revisit any point on Earth at least daily. These satellites collectively contribute around 1,000,000 km² of imagery to Airbus' repository daily.

  2. Seamless Data Access and Analysis: The data acquired by Pléiades Neo is effortlessly accessible through Airbus' OneAtlas digital platform, providing immediate access to both fresh and archived data, as well as powerful analytics tools. The Pléiades Neo satellites are equipped with advanced lightweight silicon carbide optical instruments, ensuring superior imaging quality. Their very-high resolution imagery offers an unparalleled level of detail, enhancing image analysis for both human experts and machine learning algorithms, thereby improving object recognition and providing a wealth of information for diverse applications.
