Spot satellite

There is a brief introduction about Spot

1. Spot satellite SPOT stands for Satellite Pour observation de la Terre. The SPOT satellite Earth Observation System was designed by the  Centre National d'Etude  Spatiales (CNES), in France . The SPOT Program supports commercial remote sensing on an international scale, establishing a global network of control centers, receiving stations, processing centres , and data distributors https://cdn.britannica.com/13/73213-050-5CE17A6B/orbit-satellite-Navstar-Global-Positioning-System-artist.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPOT_(satellite)

2. Spot satellite The SPOT satellites orbit at an altitude of 822km. SPOT scene sizes are typically 60km by 60km (vertical viewing) or 60km by 80km for oblique viewing. The optical imaging instruments (HRVs) are steerable to either side of the ground track - east to west- by up to 30 degrees. The SPOT satellites orbit the same ground track every 26 days with a nominal cycle of 369 revolutions. Its mean revolution period is equal to 101.4 minutes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPOT_(satellite) https://eos.com/find-satellite/spot-6-and-7/
