Nearly five million scenes are now accessible, via the Internet, in the Dali catalogue, a unique record of our planet. With a commercial network spanning five continents, subsidiaries in the United States, Singapore and Australia, and over 80 distributors, Spot Image has made this wealth of data directly accessible to a vast community of users. The commercial network is supported by a global network of 21 direct receiving stations and two main receiving stations, one in Toulouse, France, and the other in Kiruna in far northern Sweden. Only the Toulouse and Kiruna stations receive imagery stored on the satellite's onboard recorders.
The SPOT system is designed to provide a complete operational service, from data acquisition and processing to the sale and distribution of commercial added-value products.
