Enter the location name in the search bar and click on  displayed before the proposed locations to automatically draw an AOI on this location and zoom on it.
You may also enter the area location in the search bar and click on the name of the location to zoom on it:

There are two ways to search by coordinates in GeoStore.

You can paste the coordinates in the search bar in latitude and longitude and GeoStore will automatically zoom at this location.

Use the advanced Drawing functionalities to enter the center point coordinates in decimal or sexagesimal units by clicking on  . Choose to draw whether a square or a rectangle around this point and click on    .

You can as well enter the corner coordinates of your AOI using the upper left corner coordinates and lower right corner coordinates.

The area of the AOI is calculated after re-projecting the AOI from a geographic projection into an appropriate metric projection (generally a UTM or equal-area projection).
If the product has coverage over a lake or sea, this is included in the area. No special treatment is given to water bodies.

To upload such files into GeoStore click on the    button and select the file format you wish to import.

To import a list of several image IDs or WKT coordinates, make sure each line contain only one image ID or only one polygon coordinates.
To import WKT files you can paste the WKT coordinates into the Search bar as well.

If you wish to upload a Shapefile, make sure to select all the related file types (.shp .dbf .shx .prj) by holding the SHIFT or CTRL key while you click. Make sure your polygon has no gap and does not intersect itself as well. Furthermore, be aware that GeoStore does not support the import of (poly)line files or (multi)point files.

Please consult our Define Your AoI user guide in the dedicated section if you need more information on this topic.

Please consult our list of supported projection in the Help and Documentation section.

Once you have created your AOI you can click on the default name given to your polygon in the drawing tools section and rename it, then click on OK to validate. You can rename a polygon as many times as you wish.

You can now import the native names of your AOIs directly from your Shapefile or KML/KMZ. This option is very useful if you have a lot of AOIs to cover, simply extract the site locations from your own GIS and batch upload them into GeoStore.

Click on  and select  to upload a KML/KMZ file or   to upload a Shapefile.

If you are uploading a Shapefile, make sure to select all the related file types (.shp .dbf .shx .prj) by maintaining the SHIFT or CTRL key while clicking.

Then click on the switch button to select “Yes”, choose the field name to import and click on “OK” to start the upload.

Don’t forget you can always manually rename your polygons in the map:

Click on the default name of your polygon and enter a new name in the box.

Click on to validate your modifications.

Yes, you can import or even draw multiple polygons at the same time. GeoStore automatically assigns a number to each polygon and each polygon can be renamed. You can work on each polygon separately, thanks to the “Active Polygon” menu. Different search criteria can be applied to each polygon (different acquisition date, different satellite…). Any image added to the basket will be part of the same order, regardless of the polygon.
Please consult our Multiple Polygons user guide in the dedicated section if you need more information on this topic.

Select the  product in the SPOT archive product collection and display directly in GeoStore the freshest and cloud-free images on your AOI in a few clicks. These images have been manually selected by Airbus Defence and Space imagery experts.

You can also access products selection by clicking on the filter bar displayed at the bottom of the map and clicking on to change your selection.

You may also want to filter your search criteria using a submetric resolution: the subsequent search should find Pleiades products only.

Please consult our How To Search For Archives user guide in the dedicated section if you need more information on this topic.

Yes, all data accessible in the catalogue is available for commercial use.

In most cases like this, the reason you can’t see the image you want is in the search settings. For example, if the cloud cover setting has been reduced and no image of Munich matches that cloud cover setting. You must therefore adjust your settings and then do a new search.

The number of search results may also exceed the number of rows in the results table. If so, only the results displayed in the table on screen are shown on the map.

We suggest you refine your search criteria so that the results fit on one page.

GeoStore allows you to export files in KML, KMZ SHP, CSV and HTML formats. To export your results displayed on the map, click on   Geostore - Export button and choose the desired format. Please wait a few moments until GeoStore has loaded the file(s).

In flat terrain areas and hilly areas, the use of stereo with a high B/H value (Min : 0,4/Max : 0,7) is often sufficient, however the presence of high slope discontinuities in the area will lead to a low B/H value  being used (Min : 0,2/Max : 0,4). In hilly areas with high slope discontinuities and in densely populated cities, the use of tristereo paired with a low B/H value is strongly recommended.

You will find further information in the SPOT and Pléiades user guides.

Click on “SPOTMaps 1.5”, “SPOTMaps 1.5 + KML” or “SPOTMaps 2.5” in the “Products” menu and then draw an AOI. In the results toolbar, click on: 

This “Mosaic” icon will not be displayed if there is no SPOTMaps product on your AOI.

Add the product to your basket and proceed to checkout, the area of your AOI is automatically calculated. When you choose to order SPOTMaps by AOI, the system automatically chooses the most recent images. If you want older SPOTMaps, please contact the GeoStore team.

Caution: If you order SPOTMaps on several polygons and the polygons intersect one another, the area of intersection will be invoiced twice. This issue will be addressed in future updates and this behavior is temporary.

Please consult our How to search for Off-the-shelf products user guide  in the dedicated section if you need more information on this topic.

Pléiades products are automatically sold by AOI. Even if the image is bigger than your AOI, only the AOI will be taken into account when you put it in your basket.

GeoStore does not let you order subscenes for SPOT 1 to SPOT 5 products.

On the other hand, for SPOT 6, Pléiades and SPOTMaps products you will be billed only according to the surface area of your AOI.

• For the Pléiades archive, you can order 5km² and more, but a minimum order of 25km² will be charged.
• For the Spot6/7 archive, you can order 5km² and more, but a minimum order of 100km² will be charged.
• For SPOTMaps data, you can order 5km² and more, but a minimum order of 250km² will be charged.
• For the Spot1-5 archive, the minimum order is one scene.

Ortho images are corrected with ground control points and a DEM based on our altimetric database called Elevation30. However Elevation30 may not be available for specific areas. In these rare cases, images are then corrected using SRTM or GLOBE.

Although these processing options can be changed by SRTM or GLOBE through the checkout menu for SPOT 6-7 and Pleiades products, we highly advise that you use the default settings (Best available).

To produce orthorectified Spot1-5 images, (Geometric processing level 3), Elevation30 data is compulsory. Make sure your area is covered by the Elevation30 product before ordering as this layer is not globally available yet.

To check the Elevation30 coverage for your area, click on located at the bottom right-hand corner of the map and choose "Elevation30" in the list.

The Elevation30 coverage is symbolized by red tiling and must entirely cover your area.

Otherwise, we recommend that you order the intermediate geometric processing level 2 A which corresponds to the Projected processing level of the SPOT 6/7 and Pléaides products.

Please consult our How to search for Archive products user guide  in the dedicated section if you need more information on this topic..

Select a STEREO product in the result list. If there is a TRI-STEREO product available for your STEREO request, you will be asked to choose an image couple from among the three available based on the incidence angles of each image (tick the boxes).

These three acquisitions correspond to forward, nadir, and backward acquisitions defined by the along track angle and the acquisition time.

A buffer is applied to PLEIADES and SPOT6/7 products during production. The AOI created in production is larger than the AOI ordered and has clipped corners as a result of an algorithm used to generate the buffer.

The buffer is automatically applied since 07-22-2015. It concerns all PLEIADES and SPOT6/7 products, PRIMARY and ORTHO.

The buffer is systematically applied and is not a production option.

The buffer is applied to the production AOI, and not to the AOI ordered, which is used for invoicing.

Each individual company account has an associated network delivery account, itself associated with one or more e-mail addresses.
All you have to do is specify which e-mail addresses should receive notice of delivery.

Ordering through GeoStore does not change how we bill customers. Our Customer Service receives notice of all orders placed through the portal and establishes invoices as usual.

The order status menu sometimes encounters disturbances, so it might not display your orders. To bypass this temporary issue, we invite you to close and re-open the order status menu, and then launch a new search.

We are well aware of this issue and we are working to solve it. We apologize for the inconvenience.
