Paris (SPX) Dec 02, 2005
On November 22 the president of CNES, Yannick d'Escatha, and the two directors of Austria's FFG (The Austrian Research Center) signed cooperation agreements in regards to the Pleiades and Corot satellite programs.

The Pleiades High Resolution observation mission is designed to meet the needs of both the civil and security sectors when it comes to its operational capacity, the rapid access to its data and the competitiveness of its services.

The FFG's contribution will be in the areas of programming and the production of images. The FFG is also eager to participate in the Corot mission which will study the internal structure of stars and search for exoplanets. Austria will supply some of the electronic equipment for the satellite and will support CNES in the integration of the equipment and in the exploitation phase.
