Airbus SPOT (Commercial)

SPOT 6/7 is a satellite constellation providing very high-resolution optical imagery and is owned by Airbus. It is composed of two twin satellites orbiting the Earth 180° apart. The satellites deliver 1.5 m optical imagery and offer a daily revisit capability to any point on the globe. SPOT 6/7 data with its high spatial resolution is suitable for a range of remote sensing applications such as vegetation monitoring, precise mapping, risk and disaster management.

The spectral bands of SPOT data are the following:

B0 - Blue (454-519 nm, resolution 6m)

B1 - Green (527-587 nm, resolution 6m)

B2 - Red (624-694 nm), resolution 6m

B3 - Near Infrared (756-880 nm), resolution 6m

PAN - Panchromatic (455-744 nm), resolution 1.5m

SPOT’s RGB bands are in 6 meter spatial resolution. To take advantage of the 1.5 m PAN band, the pansharpening process is required.

• True Color
• Pansharpened True Color
• False Color
• NDVI
• NDWI
• Green City
• Pansharpened Green City

Note: Because Pleiades and SPOT bands are very similar in wavelengths, the same custom scripts are used for both constellations.
