RELEASED for the first time, these images of Kuala Lumpur city centre were taken from space by Airbus Pléiades Neo 3 satellite. 

The Pléiades Neo 3 was launched and secured in orbit in April last year.  It is part of the Airbus Pléiades Neo constellation.

Providing 30cm resolution combined with the most accurate geolocation, it brings a significant level of information required for precise large-scale mapping up to 1:2000 scale. – The Vibes, March 27, 2022
