Model Pleiades Neo -Satellite Constellation (30cm)
Pleiades Neo 5 and 6 Satellite Launch: On December 20, 2022, at 10:47 p.m. (local time in French Guiana),Arianespace announced the loss of the Vega C launcher carrying Pléiades Neo 5 and 6 satellites to complete the Pleiades Neo constellation. Under standard procedure, the order of destruction of the launcher was given by Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES), including the Pleiades Neo 5 and 6 satellites were destroyed. Pleiades Neo 5 and 6 satellites were to join the first two satellites, Pleiades Neo 3 and 4, that launched in April and August 2021.
Pleiades Neo 3 and 4 Satellites
Pleiades Neo 3 satellite (30cm) sensor, was successfully launched on April 28, 2021 followed by Pleiades Neo 4 on August 16, 2021, by the European Arianespace Vega launcher from the Guiana Space Center, view launch and will be phased at 180° as part of the new Pleiades Neo satellite constellation.
The Pleiades Neo satellite constellation will provide customers with 30cm panchromatic and 1.2m multispectral satellite imagery with six bands and will offer mono, stereo, and tri-stereo images for various mapping applications. The Pleiades Neo will supply reactive and rapid delivery of imagery and provide coverage at a regional scale for monitoring and management of various areas needing fast information such as environmental monitoring, forestry, energy, land development, and agriculture.
