Pléiades Neo Next
Airbus unveils plans for ensuring service continuity for years to come
Optical Imagery – Future Plans
Airbus is reinforcing its Earth Observation capabilities and services to remain at the forefront of geospatial technologies. This new programme will result in new satellite assets and capabilities, including below 30cm native resolution. As a first step of Pléiades Neo Next, Airbus is developing a new satellite which will be launched in the next few years.

- This programme will enhance our standard of excellence in terms of quality, performance, and reliability to deliver best-in-class imagery as well as geo-intelligence services and applications.
- World-first below 30cm native resolution
- Entirely funded, manufactured, owned and operated by Airbus.
- We are 100% commercially available for all of our customers
- This programme will ensure service continuity for years to come at least up to 2040
Working together with the Pléiades Neo constellation, Pléiades Neo Next will offer a higher revisit anywhere on Earth, up to several times per day, along with the best native resolution and geolocation accuracy available in the market. Pléiades Neo Next will offer complementarity with the current Airbus satellite Constellation and supports Airbus’ investment in future innovative programmes such as Strat-Observer and Co3D.
Airbus is continuously investing and improving the OneAtlas Platform to make advanced products like Pléiades Neo HD15 easier to access
