Reactive tasking with Pléiades Neo, SPOT in OpenData
A violent fire broke out on the 14th August, 2023 between Sorède, Saint-André and Argelès-sur-Mer in France’s Pyrénées-Orientales region during the height of the tourist season.
The very high-resolution Pléiades Neo image shows the extent of the damage to habitats, vegetation and tourist facilities.
To monitor the impacts of drought in this department, SPOT data is now available in Open Data format. This Open Data program was initiated by Airbus and Dinamis following a call from the local authorities of the Pyrénées-Orientales department to develop their department. The aim is to develop the area as a drought management testing ground in France. The entire territory has been monitored monthly since May 2023 and the SPOT satellite imagery is available free of charge.
