10. © Spot Image 2008 10 Illustration over Japan Multiple Target imaging time~20% Same-pass large collection imaging time~40 to 80%

11. © Spot Image 2008 11 PLEIADES: a dual access to data 10% High Priority Data (HPD) for Defense partners: France, Italy, Spain 90% for WW users through Spot Image 350 images/ day ~35 images HPD/ day Access rights Spot Image get access to up to 5 HPD images / day for Pleiades-1A

12. © Spot Image 2008 12  Routine: Centralized programming loop  Dialogue with Spot Image, as for SPOT  Feasibility study Standard Priority level  Can be upgraded to Priority or Dedicated Priority (so-called DUAL High priority data) 60 days Routine: 72 hours Collection window Collection window Routine Programming mode Dead-Line for request

13. © Spot Image 2008 13 DRS or Customer Order Request Order Confirmation Telemetry downlink 2Ghz networl Collection plan upload Collection direct reception & processing Collection plan Routine: nominal centralized programming loop Routine

14. © Spot Image 2008 14 Routine Priority level Upgrade Standard Dedicated Priority Priority Routine programming priority level upgrade  Upgrade in case of conflict  To Priority: when conflicting with other routine request  To dedicated priority: when conflicting with other priority request... Or when depositing the request  for time-critical or important data

15. © Spot Image 2008 15  Urgent: 24/7 automatic procedure for deposit  No dialogue with Spot Image, except if requested during working days/hours Up to 4 hours before collection Limited AOI Priority level Dead-Line for Request Collection window Collection window 7 days Urgent: 4 hours Urgent Programming mode

16. © Spot Image 2008 16 Urgent: 24/7 automatic procedure 6:00 UT13:40 UT23:20 UT Ability to take in account Urgent programming up to 4 hours before collection 24/7 access through automatic process with no intervention from Spot Image collection plan update and upload 3 times a day, every 8 hours

17. © Spot Image 2008 17 PLEIADES vs. competitors  Non-US VHR solution  90% of the resource available for Spot Image customers  Field-Proven Services Experience of station customer& station network management Full range of programming services up to direct tasking  Competitive pricing  Twin Constellation performance Top agility P and XS simultaneous collection Largest swath for same GSD@0.5m

18. © Spot Image 2008 18 PLEIADES vs. competitors: technical assets  Mission A constellation of 2 identical Pleiades satellites ensuring daily revisit of any point of the globe Continuity of service : beyond 2018 Dual mission but…95% of satellite data for worldwide end-users 50% for GE-1, 15-30% for WV1…  Imaging capacity Large imaging capacity: 500,000km2 /day /satellite (roll<30°) Scene size 20 x 20 km with GSD 0.7m vs. 15x15 km with 0.5m for GE or 17 x17 for WV Permanent Pan + XS imaging mode, no « slowdown » Agility: very large mono-pass capacity  Pleiades more agile than GE-1(x2), same as WV Tri-stereo  Services High level of reliability and operationality ( SPOT legacy) Mosaic, pan-sharpened and 3D products as output of standard PHR archiving & processing system 15 20
