Summary:Pleiades-HR is a high resolution remote sensing system developed by the French Space Agency (CNES) for civil and military users. The constellation is composed of two identical satellites PHR1A launched on 2011, December 17th and PHR1B launched one year after, on 2012, December 2nd. More than 600 images can be daily acquired by each satellite in various viewing angles conditions: the satellites are able to target images with viewing angles greater than 47°. Since the launch of the first satellite, major improvements have been integrated in the ground processing to enhance the quality of products and offer new options. Starting from a Pleiades-HR system overview, this paper offers a description of the ground processing and presents an assessment of the different products available now, including image quality performances.
