Mission Details

CO3D

CO3D (Constellation Optique en 3D) is an Earth observation satellite constellation by the French CNES consisting initially of 4 satellites. The satellites will deliver 50 cm resolution stereo imagery across the world on a daily basis to produce a cutting-edge 3D map of the Earth’s landmass.

Designed to weigh approximately 300 kg each, the CO3D satellites will join Airbus’ fleet of optical and radar satellites, strengthening the company’s ability to meet the growing needs of very demanding applications. The satellites are based on all electric propulsion platforms derived from the OneWeb bu.
