Why Pléiades?

Reliable, up-to-date geospatial data is the foundation of effective land administration, urban planning, and infrastructure development. Governments, city planners, and cadastral agencies rely on precise satellite imagery to update land records, manage urban expansion, and optimise infrastructure.


Pléiades provides 50 cm resolution optical imagery with a wide swath and frequent revisit capability, ensuring accurate and scalable mapping solutions for both urban and rural environments. With its agility and rapid tasking, Pléiades facilitates large-scale mapping, enabling decision-makers to efficiently track land use changes and support sustainable planning.


By complementing the ultra-high-resolution capabilities of Pléiades Neo, Pléiades delivers cost-effective, broad-area coverage, ensuring that organisations have access to the right level of detail at the right scale
