Ursa Space processed an Airbus SAR image of Paris collected in 2019 into a Point of View perspective in 2021.
Airbus shifted plans for the inaugural Pleiades Neo launch after Vega C’s debut flight was pushed into mid-2021 following a separate July 2019 Vega launch failure.
The review of the 2020-11-16 Vega failure added about two months of delay to the first satellite in Airbus’ Pleiades Neo constellation.
Pleiades Neo will serve as Airbus’ workhorse imagery constellation for the next 10 to 12 years.
Pléiades Neo imagery will be accessible on Airbus’ OneAtlas digital platform, providing immediate access to freshly acquired and archived data and analytics.
Pléiades Neo is entirely funded, designed, manufactured, owned, and operated by Airbus.
Airbus received first telemetry signals from the first Pléiades Neo satellite and the satellite's solar arrays are deployed.
Pleiades Neo 3 was wholly funded, manufactured, owned, and operated by Airbus.
Airbus plans to use Vega and Avio’s Vega C to launch the remaining three Pléiades Neo satellites because those satellites exceed Spectrum’s 700-kilogram to SSO capacity.
Airbus plans to use Vega and Avio’s upcoming Vega C to launch the three remaining Pléiades Neo satellites because those satellites exceed Spectrum’s 700-kilogram-to-SSO capacity.

Airbus expects to receive 15–18 geostationary (GEO) satellite orders in the year, with the majority being replacement missions.
Eutelsat selected Airbus to build Eutelsat 36D, a replacement satellite slated for launch in 2024.
Pléiades Neo 3 will join Airbus’s existing fleet of optical and radar satellites with increased resolution, revisit, and coverage.
Superbird-9 will be based on Airbus’ OneSat reconfigurable payload platform, which can steer and reassign beams for different customers and services.
The Superbird-9 order is the first time Sky Perfect JSAT has ordered a satellite from Airbus.
