SPOT

The constellation of SPOT satellites offers unsurpassed acquisition and revisit capacity to bring you the 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 Reference 3D 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 24 years, the SPOT constellation has covered the world many, many times building an archive of over 20 million images equaling over 72 billion square kilometers.

System continuity will be assured when a constellation of new-generation, high resolution satellites known as Pleiades 1 (50 cm) and Pleiades 2 (50 cm) and SPOT 6 (1.8m) and 7 (1.8m) launch 1 a year for the next 4 years, starting in 2010.
