SPOT imagery is acquired by a high resolution optical satellite every 3 days anywhere on the globe. Catalog datasets are available starting with 2012. See more on the marketplace.
The geographic coverage is global.
This collection accepts AOIs. You will get imagery clipped to the defined AOI.

AnalyticAnalytic has a more stable contrast and can be used to extract physical properties, such as radiance or reflectance — for example, in vegetation health monitoring. | b1f8c48e-d16b-44c4-a1bb-5e8a24892e69 | spot |
Pansharpened reflectancePansharpened reflectance is a pansharpened analytics image with a multispectral Look-Up-Table containing rendering of color curves. | df4ca029-2f6f-432b-98d5-ef2f5d70baee | spot |
DisplayDisplay has a true color curve applied on top of atmospheric correction. As a result, it looks better visually and can be used to extract features — for example, in car detection or infrastructure monitoring. | acc3f9a4-b622-49c1-b1e1-c762aa3e7e13 | spot |
In a standard delivery, an IMG_
directory contains imagery and uses file naming conventions to indicate the spectral processing of the delivered data product.
