As the name implies, SPOT 4 is the fourth member of the SPOT family. Like its predecessors, SPOT 4 will be placed in orbit by an Ariane launcher. Designed and developed by the French space agency CNES (Centre National d'Études Spatiales), the SPOT system is the world leader in civil earth observation.

The SPOT system comprises three satellites (SPOT 2, SPOT 4 and SPOT 5), an orbit and mission control ground segment, a global network of receiving and processing stations, and an international product distribution and marketing network.

This server is designed to help you understand how the system works.
