SPOT
High resolution 1.5 m optical imagery acquired daily on a global basis.
Introduction
SPOT imagery is acquired by two high resolution optical satellites (SPOT 6 and 7) on a daily basis anywhere on the globe. Catalog datasets are available starting with 2012. You can task SPOT to get fresh data for real-time monitoring.
This collection provides catalog and tasking data. See more on the marketplace.
The tasking collection is restricted. To use this collection, request access.
