SPOT5 Level 1A
The source data is licensed for use by the US public sector and academia at no additional cost. Others can purchase licenses to use the data at a reduced cost. When available, the orthomosaices will be publicly available to all US users via Open Geospatial Consortium web services. Please see the license file EULA for details. Contact us for details.
The first thing to note is: THIS IS NOT A MAP PRODUCT. Although geo-referenced products are included in the file package, they are just browse images for previewing the data. The scene has not been ortho-rectified or had any control applied. The scene has been rubber-sheeted on to the earth to provide a more useful browse product; significant errors in geo-location compared to an actual ortho-rectified, controlled map product are present in the browse imagery herein.
Please read this for details: README-201010.
Before you try to get the data, please read the download instructions.
The source scenes come in two pairs
