## Editorial
Pléiades HiRI is an Airbus Defence and Space high-resolution passive optical imager flown on Pléiades 1A and Pléiades 1B.[^pleiades-user-guide]

It covers 430 to 940 nm across five bands: panchromatic 470 to 830 nm, blue 430 to 550 nm, green 500 to 620 nm, red 590 to 710 nm, and near infrared 740 to 940 nm.[^pleiades-user-guide]

Native acquisition is 0.7 m panchromatic and 2.8 m multispectral, while distributed Airbus and DINAMIS imagery products are 0.5 m panchromatic and 2.0 m multispectral.[^pleiades-user-guide][^pleiades-dinamis]

The imager has a 20 km swath.[^pleiades-user-guide][^pleiades-dinamis]
