Pléiades unlocks information about rock glaciers in central Himalaya
As climate change accelerates the melting of glacial ice, remote sensing scientists are tapping into the potential of Pléiades data to help vulnerable mountainous communities.
An overview of ESA's Third Party Missions programme
ESA’s Third Party Missions programme consists of almost 50 satellite missions, which are owned by organisations around the world. ESA has agreements with these organisations to acquire, process, and distribute data from their missions
Pléiades full archive and tasking
The Pléiades twins (1A and 1B) deliver very high-resolution optical data (up to 0.5 m resolution Panchromatic and Colour and 2 m Multispectral) and offer a daily revisit capability to any point on the globe. The swath width is approximately 20 km (with a nadir footprint). The ortho-products are automatically generated by the Pléiades ground segment, based on SRTM or Reference3D database. The projection available for Pléiades ortho-products is UTM, datum WGS84. Spectral band combination options: Panchromatic: black and white image at 50 cm resolution Pansharpened: 3-bands or 4 bands colour image at 50 cm resolution Multispectral: 4 bands image at 2 m resolution Bundle: 0.5 m panchromatic image + 2 m multispectral image, co-registered There are two different geometric 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. Ortho: The Ortho product is a georeferenced image in Earth geometry, corrected from acquisition and terrain off-nadir effects. Available in Mono acquisition mode only. Acquisition modes: Mono Stereo Tristereo To complement the traditional and fully customised ordering and download of selected SPOT, Pléiades or Pléiades Neo images in a variety of data formats, you can also subscribe to the OneAtlas Living Library package where the entire OneAtlas optical archive of ortho images is updated on a daily basis and made available for streaming or download. The Living Library consists of less-than-18-months-old imagery a curation of SPOT images with no cloud cover and less than 30° incidence angle Pléiades images acquired worldwide with maximum 15% cloud cover and 30° Incidence Angle Pléiades Neo premium imagery selection with 2% cloud cover and 30° incidence angle Available subscription packages (to be consumed within one year of activation) Subscription package Download Streaming OneAtlas Living Library subscription package 1 You may request up to: 230 km2 Pléiades Neo 430 km2 Pléiades 1,500 km2 SPOT You may request up to: 500 km2 Pléiades Neo 2,000 km2 Pléiades 7,500 km2 SPOT OneAtlas Living Library subscription package 2 You may request up to: 654 km2 Pléiades Neo 1,214 km2 Pléiades 4,250 km2 SPOT You may request up to: 1,417 km2 Pléiades Neo 5,666 km2 Pléiades 21,250 km2 SPOT OneAtlas Living Library subscription package 3 You may request up to: 1,161 km2 Pléiades Neo 2,156 km2 Pléiades 7,545 km2 SPOT You may request up to: 2,515 km2 Pléiades Neo 10,060 km2 Pléiades 37,723 km2 SPOT Each package provides access to both download and streaming options. Depending on their preferences and needs, users can choose streaming only, download only, or a combination of both. The amounts presented in the table reflect consumption based solely on one type—either streaming or download—from a single mission All details about the data provision, data access conditions and quota assignment procedure are described in the Terms of Applicability available in the Resources section. As per ESA policy, very high-resolution imagery of conflict areas cannot be provided.
