6 Accurate, Reactive, Available Constellation Operations 1 day Revisit time with 2 45 incidence 30 incidence (Lat 40 ) Twins Two IDENTICAL satellites Phased orbit 180 one from each other, same orbit 3 1 Up to 2h # of tasking plans per day One tasking plan every 8 hours Tasking interface Leveraging synergies and optimizing the collection strategy natively to better fulfill multiple and competing requests. Before the acquisition window to post a rush tasking request

7 Accurate, Reactive, Available 3 tasking plans per day Up to two hours before satellite enters new tasking area: Take into account last-minute customer requests Fine-tune tasking plan according to the most recent weather forecast for increased success rate

8 Accurate, Reactive, Available Constellation Operations 1 day Revisit time with 2 45 incidence 30 incidence (Lat 40 ) Twins Two IDENTICAL satellites 3 Up to 2h # of tasking plans per day One tasking plan every 8 hours Before the acquisition window to post a rush tasking request Phased orbit 180 one from each other, same orbit 30 min Direct tasking plan upload before actual acquisition Processing 30 min 50-cm colour ortho production of a 20x20 km area 2-3 h for a 60 x 60 km monopass mosaic

9 Accurate, Reactive, Available Acquisition capacity km Segments per day, nominal acquisition capacity (per sat) Widest swath at nadir on the VHR market Larger native image footprint Cloud cover optimization Genuine order book Full benefit of the constellation s agility

10 Accurate, Reactive, Available Acquisition capacity Agility 600 Images per day, nominal acquisition capacity (per sat) 4 CMGs 20 km Widest swath at nadir on the VHR market Monopass collection scenarios Multi-target, Mosaic, Stereo, tristereo, Border / coastal / corridor

11 Accurate, Reactive, Available Pléiades 1A & Pléiades 1B Ideal balance between coverage and resolution The right information at the right time Unprecedented commercial availability

12 Task our satellites the most convenient way Pleiades is the only constellation where you can task the satellites right from your desktop. Instant tasking and automatic tasking were designed so that you are in the driving seat when you need an image Available online through our online portal Automatic tasking Perfect for small-area acquisitions with standard parameters Estimated delivery time is instantly available for each request Easy to order: all administrative procedures are cleared online Instant Tasking For expert customers requiring an image in emergency. Utmost reactivity, top autonomy, request transmitted with max priority, next satellite pass, per attempt pricing. We do commit & spend resource time to fulfill you requests on time & on spec.

13 Task our satellites the most convenient way Pléiades Tasking Services Automatic tasking Small AOI, (max 20km E-W by 40 km N-S) autonomy through GEOStore, collection timeframe in 120 days or 60 days in easy areas with low competition/good weather. Tailored tasking Broader & Complex AOI, specific parameters (reduced cloud cover, limited viewing angle, multiple acquisition over one pass, feasibility study, full leverage of our tasking knowledge. Instant Tasking For expert customers requiring an image in emergency. PLEIADES DAYS April, 1-3, 2014, 13 Toulouse Airbus DS Laurent Maggiori Utmost reactivity, top autonomy, request transmitted with max priority, next satellite pass, per attempt pricing. Limited 20x20 km zone.

14 Pléiades Constellation in a nutshell after 2 years of operations Production & Portfolio 80,000 products delivered in 2013 We generate more than 10,000 products per month. 90% are delivered within 24hrs. Enriched portfolio to keep up with customer demands. Programmation New collection requests average 1,800 per month, still increasing. Everyday we collect 1,300 scene equivalent (20kmx20km at Nadir)

15 The hard facts that make total sense Automatic Tasking in 2013 Instant Tasking since sept 13 94% delivered 3 days average age of the remaining 3 active requests 19 Days Max time to deliver 100% delivered 8 Hours - Average time between acquisition and delivery [best case 34 minutes] Pleiades Fulfills Your Acquisition Requests

16 The hard facts that make total sense Reliable and timely tasking 86% Pléiades success rate since Pléiades 1A launch

17 Proven Examples Instant Tasking Timeline of an order over Dubrovnik April 3 rd April 4 th 48min 15:16 the order is placed through GeoStore over the Area of Interest. 03:32 the tasking request is integrated in the satellite s plan. 9:48 the satellite passes over the target, 9:48 the datastrip is downloaded in Toulouse. 10:02 the production is launched into PLEIADES ground segment. 10:05 the datastrip is published on the external catalogue / GeoStore. 10:36 the product is available for download by the customer (on FTP delivery account). All hours are UTC

18 Proven Examples Fast Collection Over Close Targets A new acquisition order was placed to get a shot of 11 different pump stations along the Transco pipeline in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Eleven point targets were submitted on Friday 10 of the 11 areas were collected and validated on Monday morning.

19 Proven Examples Wide coverage, homogeneous data 6 strips over Tunis, Tunisia clearing 100% of the acquisition in one satellite pass

20 Proven Examples Wide coverage, homogeneous data 7 strips over Rabat / Casablanca, Morroco, clearing 100% of the acquisition in one satellite pass

21 Proven Examples Rapid acquisition and delivery Following major flooding in Niger, French Civil Protection together with local authorities activated Internat. Charter on the evening of Aug, 28th, Charter Project Manager activated Pléiades on Aug, 29th in the morning 1/ Maps of Dosso and Agadez cities, Niger: assessment of remaining flooded areas SERTIT, CNES New images were acquired and delivered over Dosso and Agadez on Aug, 30th, allowing the fastest map production (7 h) to provide an updated view to Niger Authorities and their partners (including humanitarian organizations)

22 Proven Examples Large areas covered in record time The entire borders of Saudi Arabia collected in 10 months (Pléiades 1A only)

23 Proven Examples Large areas covered in record time Pipeline Monitoring (one month collection): Pléiades went for the corridor mode and collected the entire area in 12 segments only for an easier data usage and handling

24 Proven Examples Last example : Korean Border One-day acquisition «cap imposé»

25 Proven Examples Last example : Korean Border One-day & North-South acquisition
