NRSC SPOT Data

SPOT data has been available from 22 February 1986 and the UK National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) is the official distributor of SPOT data in the UK and concentrates on the acquisition and archiving of UK data, although the archive contains a growing number of scenes of other countries. The SPOT data is available in 3 multispectral bands (0.5-0.59, 0.61-0.68, 0.79-0.89) and panchromatic band. The resolution is 20m for the multispectral mode and 10m in panchromatic mosaic. The repeat cycle is 26 days. SPOT also offers a revisit capability and the possibility of stereographic imagery. SPOT digital products available from the NRSC are single scene on 6250 bpi tape or four 1600 bpi tapes. The CCT's are available as either band interleaved or band sequential and ASCII or EBCDIC coding. The data is also available on Exabyte and CD-ROM. The photographic products are either on film (240mm) or paper print (various sizes up to 960mm). Price lists of these products are available on request to the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC).
