SPOT 1-5 ESA Archive
Jan-2015
| SPOT 1-3 carried the High-Resolution Visible Imagers, while SPOT 4-5 carried an upgraded version, the High-Resolution Visible and Infrared Imager. To ensure continuity of service, HRVIR had the same geometric imaging
characteristics (a swath of 60 km per instrument and oblique viewing capability
of 27° on each side of the local vertical), but its performance had been increased
by adding a new shortwave infrared spectral band (SWIR). The collection is composed by the copy of products
requested by ESA supported projects over their areas of interest around the world
(mainly Europe and Africa), and access is provided via the TPM scheme. Read more

SPOT 4-5 Take 5 ESA Archive
Jan-2013
| At the end of their operational lives SPOT 4 and 5 were placed into orbits that
resulted in 5-day revisit times – consistent with the operation of Sentinel-2.
SPOT 4/5 Take 5 data collected over a selection of international sites allowed
users to prepare for Sentinel-2 by testing their methods and applications, as well
as to showcase the utility of the derived products. Access is provided through the ESA TPM scheme. Read more

SPOT-6/7 Full Archive & Tasking & SPOTMaps 2.5
Jan-2012
| SPOT 6 and 7 form an EO constellation, together with Pleiades-1A/1B, improving
on the imaging capacity of their predecessor SPOT 5, while ensuring SPOT data
continuity with their 60 km swath. SPOT 6 and 7 offer 1.5 m resolution in natural colour, a daily revisit to any point
of the globe and can be programmed for stereo and tri-stereo acquisitions for 3D
terrain modelling. ESA offers access to worldwide SPOT6-7 data (both archived and new acquisitions) and
to OneAtlas Living Library via the TPM scheme. Read more

IMAGE2006 European Coverage
Jan-2006
| Two cloud-free coverages of Europe are available, resampled to 20 m spatial
resolution in national projection and 25 m in European projection for orthorectified
data. Data have been sourced from SPOT-4 HRVIR (20 m original spatial
resolution), SPOT-5 HRG (10 m original spatial resolution) and Resourcesat-1
(IRS-P6) LISS III (with 23 m original spatial resolution), each with four spectral
bands. The swath width is about 60 km for the SPOT satellites and 140 km for
the IRS-P6 satellite. Access is provided through the ESA TPM scheme. Read more
