Pléiades-1, the newest high-resolution commercial color imaging satellite, was launched on December 16, 2011 from Sinnamary, French Guiana. Pléiades-1 is the first of two high resolution satellites to be launched by Astrium (An EADS Company). The second satellite, Pléiades-2, is expected to launch in late 2012. Pléiades-1 has a maximum acquisition capacity of 1 million sq. km per day and has exceptional agility to maximize acquisitions of a specific area of interest using 5 acquisition modes: Target, Strip Mapping, Tristereo, Corridor and Persistent Surveillance.
