The crew can then adjust the itinerary to better take account of the environmental conditions, ensure the ship\u2019s safety, optimise comfort for guests and limit fuel consumption.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text transition-colors dark:text-white text-base font-normal text-primary-black mt-4\">Airbus delivers high-resolution optical and radar satellite imagery over the North Pole by adapting its satellite tasking based on the needs of the ship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text transition-colors dark:text-white text-base font-normal text-primary-black mt-4\">PONANT\u2019s cruise ship Le Commandant Charcot, first used Airbus\u2019 imagery during its first voyage to the North Pole in 2021. Ordered a few days in advance, the images produced by Airbus\u2019 radar satellite constellation are available within just an hour of being purchased. The fleet support team receives the images and redirects them to the ship, and can then adjust the route plan accordingly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text transition-colors dark:text-white text-base font-normal text-primary-black mt-4\">Airbus\u2019 Radar satellites are ideal for ice monitoring applications, as they provide highly accurate imagery independent of light or weather conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text transition-colors dark:text-white text-base font-normal text-primary-black mt-4\"><i>\u201cAirbus technology is an invaluable aid when navigating in polar regions which are always full of surprises. The radar images are extremely precise enabling us to assess the surface, thickness and hardness of ice along the route and plan the most efficient path in terms of safety, comfort and fuel consumption. If necessary, we can even purchase images the same day,\u201d <\/i>explains <strong>Captain David Marionneau, Director Marine Operations at PONANT<\/strong>. <i>\u201cWe will soon be using these images for Le Commandant Charcot\u2019s first Northwest Passage crossing\u201d.<\/i><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"display dark:text-white transition-colors display-2 text-3xl sm:text-4xl 2xl:text-4.5xl font-normal text-brand-01 mt-8\">New applications being considered<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text transition-colors dark:text-white text-base font-normal text-primary-black mt-2\">PONANT and Airbus are discussing other applications for <strong>Earth Observation<\/strong> imagery. The Pl\u00e9iades Neo satellites 3 and 4, launched in 2021, supply an exceptional resolution of 30cm making it possible to envisage applications for detailed monitoring of areas such as ports and other regions such as the Antarctic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text transition-colors dark:text-white text-base font-normal text-primary-black mt-4\"><i>\u201cLe Commandant Charcot has specific needs in terms of accessibility, safety and protecting biodiversity. Working with PONANT on exploration cruise navigation in the Arctic enriches our respective operations and together we will develop innovative navigation aids,\u201d<\/i> says <strong>Fran\u00e7ois Lombard, Head of Intelligence business at Airbus Defence and Space.<\/strong> <i>\u201cWe are proud to take part in this first North Pole cruise adventure and we thank PONANT for their trust in us\u201d<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Airbus already provides satellite images of the Arctic to institutions for needs related to shipping, defence and safety at sea, and PONANT is its first commercial customer.
