Currently, EO data is used in multiple fields, being necessary to have data from

different sources with different characteristics (number of bands, swath, spatial, spectral

and temporal resolution...) that allow us to meet the increasingly demanding needs of our

customers.

Copernicus is a Programme Coordinated and Managed by the European Commission

whose objective is the knowledge and study of the Planet on the Basis of Earth

Observation and in situ (non-space) data to improve the life of European citizens


Copernicus Program: VHR Image Project

10

Objective of the Very High Resolution Image Project (VHR) coverage is to provide to

Copernicus Service Providers a Complete Coverage of the Region EEA-39 with

Optical Multispectral Data :

Surface ~6 M km²


Copernicus Program: VHR IMAGE 2018

11

Deimos Imaging and PanGeo Alliance due to their versatility of sensors meet the

technical and operational of the VHR 2018:

✓ Surface Coverage ~6 M km², including a 4 km Sea Buffer

✓ Sun Elevation Angle > 20º

✓ Off-Nadir Viewing Angle < 30º

✓ Ortho-rectification: Accurate to less than 0.75 pixel size equivalent

RMSE and a max displacement of less than 1.5 pixels in no more than

0.1% in lowlands, 5% in hilly landscapes and 15% in mountainous

areas.

✓ Cloud-, cloudshadow- and haze-free coverage

✓ INSPIRE metadata

✓ Backup Missions: Deimos-2, TripleSat, KazEOsat-1, Dubaisat- 2,

Gaofen- 2…
