3. SPOT
4. 1. SPOT 1,2,3 A French satellite system
- SPOT-1 was launched in Feb 21, 1986
- SPOT-2 in 1990
- SPOT-3 in 1993
The first commercial system designed to provide high quality service and data for operational users worldwide
5. 2. Orbits Altitude 832km
Inclination 98.70
10:30am passes descending point
26 days for vertical observation, 1-4 days for oblique observations
6. 3. SPOT Sensor Systems Components - two identical High Resolution Visible (HRV) imaging systems – pushbroom
- a telemetry transmitter, and magnetic tape recorders
7. 3. The Pushbroom Technique “Pushbroom" scans based on charge coupled devices (CCD) which allows imaging the entire data line along track
A linear array of CCDs each corresponding to a pixel
Pushbroom allows longer lifetime, reduced geometric errors, and longer dwell time
8. 3. Pushbroom .. A 6,000-detector subarray for the pan band
Three 3,000-detector subarrays for the three multispectral bands respectively
The pointable mirror is controlled by the ground station to acquire oblique images
9. 4. SPOT Resolutions Panchromatic mode
Multispectral mode
10. 4. Resolutions - Pan Panchromatic mode - spectral resolution: 0.51-0.73microm - radiometric resolution: 256 level of brightness - spatial resolution: 10x10m - temporal resolution: 2.5-26 days
11. 4. Resolutions - XS Multispectral configuration - spectral resolution:
band1: 0.50-0.59mm (green) band2: 0.61-0.68mm (red) band3: 0.79-0.89mm (near infrared) - radiometric resolution: 256 levels - spatial resolution: 20x20m - temporal resolution: 2.5-26 days
12. 5. The Nadir Viewing The nadir viewing
The off-nadir viewing
13. 5. The Nadir Viewing .. The two 60km swath overlap 3km
The total swath is 117km
14. 5. The Off-Nadir Viewing.. Can view in a maximum 27o in 45 steps of 0.6o each
Can view an area of a maximum 950km, with each scene 60-80km
15. 5. The Off-Nadir Viewing .. The same area can be viewed from different angles to acquire stereo coverage
The twin sensors can operate in different viewing angles
16. SPOT 1, 2, 3 SPOT 1 was withdrawn in 1990
SPOT 2 is deorbited in 2009
SPOT 3 stopped in 1997
17. 6. SPOT 4 and 5
18. 6. SPOT 4 Launched on Mar 23, 1998
High Resolution Visible and Infrared (HRVIR)
An additional mid-infrared 1.58-1.75mm for vegetation, mineral, and soil moisture monitoring
Replace the pan band with a red band that produces both 10m black/white and 20m XS data
A wide IFOV Vegetation Monitoring Instrument with 1km resolution, 2250km swath, B, R, NIR, MIR bands
19. 6. SPOT 5 Launched on May 3, 2002
Replace HRVIR with two high resolution geometric instruments (HRG)
A 5m pan band, 10m G, R, NIR bands, and a 20m MIR band
High resolution stereoscopic (HRS) instrument, prepares 10m global wide DEM
20. 7. SPOT Data Direct transmission occurs within 2,600km to the ground stations, otherwise tape recorders are used
SPOT Image Co. at Reston, VA distributes SPOT data in the US
