Imagery-Satellite-SPOT 2020

The NSW SPOT6/7 imagery product is a state-wide satellite imagery product provided by DCS Spatial for NSW Government. The images were captured January 2020 through to April 2020. The imagery scenes used to create the NSW mosaic includes Lord Howe Island. This imagery data set has been acquired through Geospatial Intelligence Pty Ltd who partnered with GeoImages Pty Ltd and Airbus Defence and Space. SPOT imagery products offer high resolution over broad areas using the SPOT 6/7 satellites. A SPOT satellite acquisition covers large areas in a single pass at resolutions up to 1.5m. Such precise coverage is ideal for applications at national and regional scales from 1:250,000 to 1:15,000. SPOT 6/7 also includes the benefits of the near-infrared (NIR) which enables applications for detection of features not visible to the human eye, such as detecting and monitoring vegetation health.
