Spot Image Wins Access to High-Priority Pleiades Data

摘要

Spot Image has soured the right to use a portion of the high-priority data output otherwise reserved for military customers of the Pleiades-1 high-resolution Earth observation satellite set for launch next spring, according to Spot Image officials.rnChristophe Hutin, Pleiades program manager at Spot Image, said the company will be able to order up to five high-priority images per day from Pleaides-1. In this way, he said, military use of the satellite, even in a time of crisis, will not crowd out commercial customers.
