Airbus Defence and Space released Pleiades Neo 3 from the Vega rocket during the 2021-04-28 mission.
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.
Pleiades Neo will serve as Airbus’ workhorse imagery constellation for the next 10 to 12 years.
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.
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 is Airbus Defence and Space’s biggest 100% self-funded program in space and defense.
Pléiades Neo imagery will be accessible on Airbus’ OneAtlas digital platform, providing immediate access to freshly acquired and archived data and analytics.
Airbus Defence and Space invested around €600 million to €700 million (about $723,000,000 to $848,000,000) in the Pleiades Neo program.
Pleiades Neo 3 is the first high-resolution 30-centimeter satellite in a new constellation built and operated by Airbus Defence and Space.
Pleiades Neo 3 will be the 131st Airbus Defence and Space built satellite to be launched by Arianespace.
Arianespace’s backlog currently includes 20 Airbus Defence and Space built satellites including CERES (x3), SYRACUSE 4B (COMSAT NG 2), EUTELSAT QUANTUM, METOP-SG A1, METOP-SG B1, THEOS-2, CSO 3, Pléiades Neo (x3), JUICE, Measat-3d, Biomass, EarthCARE, and CO3D (x4).
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.
Isar Aerospace announced its first launch contract on 2021-04-22 with Airbus Defence and Space to launch a future Earth observation satellite into sun-synchronous orbit.
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 Defence and Space is developing at least two Earth observation constellations destined for sun-synchronous orbits.
The first SPRINT reflectors will equip Inmarsat, Optus, Intelsat, and SKY Perfect JSAT satellites produced by Airbus.
Korea Aerospace Industries plans to launch satellite data-based services and is considering starting those services in Southeast Asia using satellite imagery from Airbus.
