Abstract
There have been 7 SPOT (Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terre) satellites launched since 1986, providing medium to high resolution of the Earth's surface. SPOT 1, 2 and 3 carried a multi-spectral (XS) and panchromatic (P) sensor on board. SPOT 7 was successfully launched on June 30th 2014.
