Zenit is a family of space launch vehicles designed by the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau of Ukraine.

Zenit was built in the 1980s for two purposes: as a liquid rocket booster for the Energia rocket and, equipped with a second stage, as a stand-alone rocket. Moreover Zenit was planned to take over manned spaceship launches from Soyuz, but these plans were abandoned after the fall of the Soviet Union.
Zenit-3SL is launched by the Sea Launch consortium's floating launch platform in the Pacific Ocean and Zenit-2 is launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Draco is a group of hypergolic rocket engines (known as a thrusters) designed by SpaceX for use on their Dragon spacecraft, the upper stage of their Falcon 9 rocket, while the larger Super Draco engines will be used on later versions of the Dragon spacecraft used for crew transport to low-Earth orbit, as well as entry, descent and landing control of the proposed Red Dragon robotic probe to Mars.

The Pléiades constellation is composed of two very-high-resolution optical Earth-imaging satellites. Pléiades 1 and Pléiades 2 will provide coverage of Earth’s surface with a repeat cycle of 26 days . Designed as a dual civil/military system, Pléiades will meet the space imagery requirements of European defence as well as civil and commercial needs.

The Pléiades system was designed under the French-Italian ORFEO program (Optical & Radar Federated Earth Observation) between 2001 and 2003.

The Pléiades programme was launched in October 2003 with CNES (the French space agency) as the overall system prime contractor and EADS Astrium as the prime contractor for the space segment. Pléiades-1 was launched via a Russian Soyuz ST rocket out of French Guiana on December 16, 2011. Pléiades 2 will launch in December 2012.

Spot Image is the official and exclusive worldwide distributor of Pléiades products.
