We commit to continuity
Airbus created the first commercial Earth observation satellite company, Spot Image, in 1982. Since then, we have built the largest commercial satellite Constellation available today.
We strive to suit our customers’ diverse data needs across a wide range of markets, and the demand for data is growing exponentially. In line with these demands, we are expanding our assets with future missions such as CO3D for global Digital Elevation Models, Strat-Observer stratospheric Earth observation system and the next generation SAR.
