SPOT HRV Data held by the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), Brazil

INPE's only receiving station for SPOT HRV is located in Cuiaba, MT
(geographic coordinates approx. 15.5S/56.0W). Data have been acquired
based on requests from users and over priority areas, therefore the
coverage is not continuous. Most of the data lies within Brazil.

The HRV tapes recorded at Cuiaba are air shipped to the processing and
distribution center in Cachoeira Paulista, SP, where they are
kept. The holdings are estimated to be around 11,000 scenes (about
8600 XS and 2300 PAN). About 500 scenes have been processed to
black-and-white film originals, and half of this number composited
into color negatives. No copies are kept of produced CCTs.

Requests for products and for image search listings *originated in
South American countries* are handled by INTERSAT, the SPOT Image
representative in Brazil (Al. Jose Alves Siqueira F., 139 / 12245-260
Sao Jose dos Campos, SP / Brazil / phone [phone]; fax
+55.12.322-2076; e-mail [e-mail]). No online remote
access is available to the moment, although plans exist to implement
it, including the International Directory protocols. No firm date is
speculated for that, but hopes are that it can be made before
1998. Information about costs, delivery time and available formats can
be requested at the same address.

Requests from other countries must be routed through SPOT Image in
Toulouse, France (16 bis, avenue Edouard Belin / 31030 Toulouse Cedex
