SPOT

The constellation of SPOT satellites, operated by Astrium GEO-Information Services, offers unsurpassed acquisition and revisit capacity to bring you imagery from anywhere in the world, every day. This constellation provides highly accurate imagery ranging in resolution from 2.5 meters to 20 meters.

SPOT images cover a 60 km x 60 km swath enabling acquisition of very large areas with very few images. The HRS instrument on SPOT 5 is dedicated to stereoviewing for relief mapping. It has been used to create the Reference3D geographic reference system, which is unrivaled in the world for its accuracy, coverage, completeness, uniformity and unlimited source of ground control points.

The system has been operational since 1986 when SPOT 1 was launched. SPOT 2 was placed in orbit in January 1990, followed by SPOT 3 in September 1993, SPOT 4 in March 1998 and SPOT 5 in May 2002. Over the last 25 years, the SPOT constellation has covered the world many, many times building an archive of over 25 million images equaling over 100 billion square kilometers.

System continuity will be assured when a constellation of new-generation, high resolution satellites known as Pléiades 1 (50 cm) and Pléiades 2 (50 cm) and SPOT 6 (1.8m) and 7 (1.8m) launch 1 a year for the next 4 years.
