SWH DATA SITE

SPOT satellites (Satellites Pour l'Observation de la Terre) were designed by CNES to study the Earth. From 1986 to 2015, the series of 5 satellites were able to take images of the planet with improved resolution with each generation of satellites (from 20 m to 2.5 m). In order to perpetuate and enhance these data, the SPOT World Heritage (SWH) program runned by CNES make available for free to the public the SPOT 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 archive. These are images (60x60 km) acquired from 1986 until 2015 in L1A level (radiometric egalization, no geometric correction).

  Now available on the SWH-2A-Carto portal: Double the resolution of your SPOT 5 THR panchromatic images, thanks to the Supermode processing.

SWH data are available at Level 1A from REGARDS catalogue. In order to be in line with L1C Sentinel 2 products, the SWH-2A-Carto service enhance in a fast way ( from 1 to 5 seconds) the SWH-1A into equivalent L1C products (without refining), called SWH-2A-Carto.

The service uses SWH-1A product provides standart terrain corrected product (SWH-2A-Carto products) where the altitude and spatial resolution are set up by the processing in a cartographic projection. A metadata file is added to the product. More information...
