SPOT 6/7
SPOT 6/7 benefit from a large swath, enabling a daily acquisition capacity of 6 million km². The satellites are specifically designed to efficiently provide large-area coverages, making them particularly suitable to serve cartographic and monitoring applications ideally for 1:15,000 topographic mapping. They also have stereo and tristereo capacity, with a daily revisit anywhere.
Some of the SPOT6/7 benefits include feature extraction, 2D & 3D stereo plotting, geometric accuracy down to 1.2m CE90, elevation and contour lines, huge coverage capacity strengthened by efficient management of weather forecasts, ultimate reactivity from new acquisition ordering to product delivery, and highly accurate, orthorectified imagery as a standard.
