The logical place to go
for unique information
The images acquired by SPOT Earth
observation satellites are an unparalleled
source of information for studying,
monitoring, forecasting
and managing natural
resources and human activities on
our planet.
They are an efficient,
cost-effective way of obtaining
invaluable geographic information
in the form of decision-support
tools.
Easy to use
SPOT images can be directly
integrated in image processing,
geographic information or map-making
systems. They are easy to process
and combine with other geographic
data to extract whatever
information may be needed.
Objective and complete
The information in a SPOT image
gives an objective, reliable picture
of the Earth’s surface. Both accurate
and all-encompassing, a single SPOT
image covers a surface area of 3,600
km².
The SPOT archives have more than
10 million images
covering almost the whole
surface of the Earth several
times over.
Tailored to multiscale requirements
Covering a wide area (60 km x 60
km) SPOT imagery comes in a full
range of resolutions
from 20 m down
to 2.5 m, for work
on regional or
local scales (from
1:100 000 to 1:10 000)
