2016 SPOT 6/7 Satellite Imagery

SPOT-6/7 high-resolution Earth observation imagery, is available in both panchromatic (1.5 m) and multispectral(6m). In 2016, the South African National Space Agency (SANSA), Earth Observation division, produced a national mosaic derived from SPOT-6/7 acquisitions.

The mosaic coveres national South Africa’s boundaryl and is distributed as a georeferenced raster dataset in GeoTIFF format, with a spatial resolution of 1.5 m, consistent with the native resolution of SPOT-6/7. This dataset is particularly valuable for applications such as urban expansion monitoring, infrastructure mapping, precision agriculture, forestry assessment, and natural resource management.
