SPOT (Satellite pour l’Observation de la Terre) is a series of Earth's observation satellites developed by the French space agency, CNES. These satellites capture high-resolution images of the Earth's surface, providing valuable data for applications like agriculture, environmental monitoring, urban planning, and disaster management. Operating in orbit, SPOT satellites can photograph large areas with detail, helping scientists and organizations track changes over time. Their imaging capabilities support decision-making by offering accurate, timely information about land use, natural resources, and environmental conditions from space.
