Antakya before and after the earthquakes

In English

Simon Gascoin, 17 février 2023

We received satellite images of Antakya, Turkey acquired by Pléiades 10 days after the earthquake. The comparison with pre-event imagery leaves me speechless.

The post-event images were acquired by Pléiades PHR1A thanks to CNES Cellule d’Intervention et d’Expertise Scientifique et Technique nouvelle génération : CIEST²
