SPOT High Resolution Visible Data
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The SPOT Program supports commercial remote sensing on an international scale, establishing a global network of control centers, receiving stations, processing centers, and data distributors.
Description
The French space agency, Centre National d' Etudes Spatiales (CNES), owns and operates the SPOT satellite system while worldwide commercial operations are anchored by private companies (i.e., SPOT IMAGE Corporation in the United States, SPOT IMAGE in France, SATIMAGE in Sweden, and distributors in over 40 countries).
The SPOT-1 satellite was launched on February 22, 1986, and decommissioned on December 31, 1990. The SPOT-2 satellite was launched on January 22, 1990, and the SPOT-3 satellite was launched on September 26, 1993. It is anticipated that the SPOT-4 satellite will launch late in 1997 while the SPOT-5 satellite has an anticipated 2001 launch date.

The SPOT satellites carry two High Resolution Visible (HRV) sensors, two high density tape recorders, and a telemetry transmitter. The HRVs, constructed with multilinear array detectors, operate in a cross-track direction. Operating independently of each other, the two HRVs acquire imagery in either multispectral and/or panchromatic modes at any viewing angle within plus or minus 27 degrees.
This off-nadir viewing enables the acquisition of stereoscopic imagery. Spectral Range and Spatial Resolution: -Multispectral (XS) Band / Micrometers / Resolution / 1 / 0.50-0.59 micrometers / 20 meters 2 / 0.61-0.68 micrometers / 20 meters 3 / 0.79-0.89 micrometers / 20 meters -Panchromatic (P) Band / Micrometers / Resolution / N/A / 0.51-0.73 micrometers / 10 meters
