Sensor details
| Sensor Name : | HRG |
| Sensor Description : | High Geometric Resolution (HRG) imaging instruments offer a combined field-of-view that is wider than the greatest distance between two adjacent tracks. The Earth can therefore be completely covered in a 26-day cycle. There are 2 HRGs on SPOT 5. 2 x pan (5m) combined generate 2.5m, 3 ms (10m), 1 shortwave infrared (20m) |
| Spatial Resolution : | 5m panchromatic, 2.5m pan, 10m multispectral, 20m sif |
| Additional Information : | HRG |
| Platform : | SPOT |
| Description : | The SPOT satellite Earth Observation System was designed by the CNES, the French Space Agency, and developed with the participation of Sweden and Belgium. The system has been operational since 1986 when SPOT 1 was launched. SPOT 2 was placed in orbit in January 1990, followed by SPOT 3 in September 1993, SPOT 4 in March 1998 and SPOT 5 in May 2002. |

| Access Constraints : | The distribution of SPOT imagery held by the AADC is restricted due to copyright. Apart from internal use of the imagery by the AAD, the AADC may loan the imagery to a group outside the AAD subject to the following conditions: 1 the group is involved in a joint project with the AAD for which a written agreement exists; 2 the loan is just for the duration of the joint project. |
