Satellite imagery

In today’s world information is everything. But it can be a challenge to come by the right information, at the right time, in the right format. At Airbus, we support our customers by delivering an extensive portfolio of timely and accurate Earth observation data for a wide range of industries and applications.

As a global leading provider of commercial optical and radar satellite imagery, Airbus operates the largest Earth observation constellation comprised of Pléiades Neo, Pléiades, SPOT, DMC Constellation and Vision-1 optical satellites as well as the Radar Constellation (consisting of TerraSAR-X, TanDEM-X and PAZ).

Thanks to this multi-sensor, multi-resolution and multi-source data approach, we support the diverse data needs of our customers - whether they are looking for wide coverage, fine detail, intensive monitoring, premium reactivity, timely image acquisition regardless of lighting conditions or extensive archive data. Derived from our first-class imagery, we also process a comprehensive portfolio of geospatial datasets including high-quality elevation models, global layers and grids.

Our unrivalled portfolio of geospatial products and services supports diverse applications across markets ranging from defence and security across maritime and agriculture to civil engineering and oil, gas and mining. Thus we provide decision makers with sustainable solutions to increase security, optimise mission planning and operations, improve management of resources, boost operational performance, and protect our environment.

To continuously reinforce our leading position in Earth Observation, we are preparing the future with further extensions of our constellation through the CO3D, the Zephyr and the TerraSAR-X Neo programmes. We are also working on innovative future solutions and collaborate with partners and other organisations to further improve our services.
