Spot 6 and Spot 7 cost about 300 million euros ($375 million), Astrium said.
Both satellites have drawn on technological and operational innovations conceived for the Pléiades constellation. Pleiades, like Spot 6 and Spot 7, operates in a 700-km orbit , and is capable of detecting images as small as 50 centimeters in diameter in its highest-resolution mode.
The mission will bring ISRO’s total tally of foreign satellites launched to 29.
