Arhanghelul Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Another great news for the remote sensing community: SPOT 7 was launched from India and is now on orbit ! http://www.spacenews.com/article/launch-report/41070india%E2%80%99s-pslv-rocket-lofts-airbus-spot-7-satellite This will be a great source of satellite images (but not for free ) Edited July 2, 2014 by Arhanghelul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 great news, so what enhancement in this new version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cseu Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Apparently the same as spot 6 : 1.5m natural colors. I haven't found anywhere the resolutions of panchromatic and multispectral bands. Certainly not enough resolution for the price they'll probably sell the imagery... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A spatial resolution of 1.5 m makes SPOT 7 a high resolution satellite. But not a very-high-resolution image provider, such as WorldView-2 (0.5m). SPOT 7 will be added to the SPOT constelation of Astrium, increasing the posibility to produce more satelitte images in a shorted time period. Still, these images can be used for agriculture mapping, forest mapping, etc. Application that don't necessary need high-resolution images. But now, let's wait for the prices list of the new SPOT 7 Here, some technical details: http://www.astrium-geo.com/files/pmedia/edited/r18072_9_spot_6_technical_sheet.pdf Edited July 3, 2014 by Arhanghelul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
