Why SPOT?

Accurate and up-to-date mapping is essential for land management, infrastructure development and urban planning. SPOT satellite imagery provides 1.5m resolution with a 60km swath, enabling efficient coverage of large areas while maintaining high spatial accuracy. Capable of supporting topographic mapping at scales ranging from 1:30,000 to 1:7,500, SPOT is an optimal choice for national mapping agencies, urban planners and GIS professionals.


SPOT enables the regular production of precise maps for land administration, urban expansion and infrastructure projects. With its rapid revisit cycle and consistent data acquisition, SPOT ensures reliable updates to geographic datasets, providing decision-makers with the latest spatial intelligence for effective planning and resource management.

Precise data for mapping

  • In an increasingly urbanised and data-driven world, precise geospatial intelligence is essential for managing land, optimising infrastructure and ensuring sustainable urban expansion.
  • Governments, planners and mapping professionals require frequent, high-resolution updates to support decision-making.

Did you know?

SPOT satellite imagery provides 1.5 m resolution with a 60km swath, enabling efficient coverage of large areas while maintaining high spatial accuracy. Compared to higher-resolution satellite constellations, SPOT offers an optimal trade-off between resolution, coverage and revisit frequency, making it a cost-effective and scalable solution for national and regional mapping initiatives.
