NEPTUNE | Elbit Systems

High Resolution Remote Sensing Camera

The high resolution NEPTUNE remote-sensing camera provides real-time, detailed panchromatic images.
NEPTUNE, integrated in the EROS B satellite that was launched in April 2006 and is still fully operational, has proved its high reliability. The EROS B satellite is the second in a family of Earth Global Monitoring systems, operated by ImageSat International N.V.
