The SPOT 6 satellite is specifically designed to efficiently cover huge areas in record time making them particularly suitable to serve cartographic and monitoring applications.

With SPOT 6 satellite, we continue a long history data delivery started 40 years ago with the launch of the original SPOT 1 satellite in 1986. Today the archive imagery gives you access to unique historical high resolution data collected over the last decade and spanning over billions of km2. SPOT 6 secures data continuity will be until 2025.

A SPOT satellite acquisition covers large areas in a single pass at resolutions up to 1.5m. Such precise coverage is ideal for application at national and regional scales and best suited for mapping, agriculture and land administration applications. SPOT 6 operates in a 180-degree phased orbit, allowing for up to daily revisit anywhere on Earth. The satellite’s large swath enables a daily acquisition capacity of 3 Million km2.” .

Our extensive and attractive One Tasking offer, jointly optimised with our Pléiades satellites, allows you to select the service that is most suitable for your specific requirements and project schedules.

Offering an ideal trade-off between coverage, resolution and speed, Pléiades products are especially useful for applications in defence, civil protection, hazard management, urban mapping, precision agriculture and network and infrastructure administration.
