The SPOT satellite Earth Observation System was designed by the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), in France. CNES owns and operates the SPOT satellite system while worldwide commercial operations are anchored by private companies (i.e. SPOT IMAGE Corporation in the United States, SPOT IMAGE in France, SATIMAGE in Sweden, and distributors in over 40 countries). The SPOT Program supports commercial remote sensing on an international scale, establishing a global network of control centers, receiving stations, processing centres, and data distributors.</p>\n\n<h3>Orbital Parameters</h3>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n\n<tr>\n<th>Orbit type</th>\n<td>Near-polar, near-circular, sun-synchronous</td>\n</tr>\n\n<tr>\n<th>Orbital period</th>\n<td>101.4 minutes</td>\n</tr>\n\n<tr>\n<th>Repeat period</th>\n<td>26 days</td>\n</tr>\n\n<tr>\n<th>Altitude</th>\n<td>832km</td>\n</tr>\n\n<tr>\n<th>Inclination</th>\n<td>98.7 degrees</td>\n</tr>\n\n<tr>\n<th>Equator Crossing time</th>\n<td>10:30 AM local time</td>\n</tr>\n\n</tbody>\n</table>\n\n<h3>Satellite Information</h3>\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"80%\">\n<tbody>\n\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Satellite</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Launch Date</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Status</th>\n</tr>\n\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">SPOT 1</th>\n<td><div align=\"center\">1986-02-22</div></td>\n<td><div align=\"center\">Withdrawn 1990-12-31</div></td>\n</tr>\n\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">SPOT 2</th>\n<td><div align=\"center\">1990-01-22</div></td>\n<td><div align=\"center\">Deorbited July 2009</div></td>\n</tr>\n\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">SPOT 3</th>\n<td><div align=\"center\">1993-09-26</div></td>\n<td><div align=\"center\">Stopped functioning 1997-11-14</div></td>\n</tr>\n\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">SPOT 4</th>\n<td><div align=\"center\">1998-03-24</div></td>\n<td><div align=\"center\">Stopped functioning July 2013</div></td>\n</tr>\n\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">SPOT 5</th>\n<td><div align=\"center\">2002-05-04</div></td>\n<td><div align=\"center\">Operational</div></td>\n</tr>\n\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">SPOT 6</th>\n<td><div align=\"center\">2012-09-12</div></td>\n<td><div align=\"center\">Operational</div></td>\n</tr>\n\n\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">SPOT 7</th>\n<td><div align=\"center\">2014-06-30</div></td>\n<td><div align=\"center\">Operational</div></td>\n</tr>\n\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p />\n\n</div>","keywords":"","inputDescription":null,"outputDescription":null,"softwareReference":null,"identifier_set":[]}],"acquisitionComponent":[{"ob_id":8283,"independentInstrument":[],"instrumentplatformpair_set":[{"ob_id":2580,"platform":"https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/platforms/8280/?format=json","instrument":"https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/instruments/8281/?format=json","relatedTo":{"ob_id":8283,"uuid":"14d30db63bb043cfa8693b8e02c6f556","short_code":"acq"}}]}],"identifier_set":[],"responsiblepartyinfo_set":[]}
