The NSW SPOT imagery product is a state-wide satellite imagery service provided by various vendors for NSW Government from 2005-2023.

SPOT imagery products offer high resolution over broad areas using the SPOT 5 or SPOT 6/7 satellites. A SPOT satellite acquisition covers large areas in a single pass at resolutions ranging from 1.5-2.5m. Such precise coverage is ideal for applications at national and regional scales from 1:250,000 to 1:15,000. SPOT 6/7 also includes the benefits of the near-infrared (NIR) which enables applications for detection of features not visible to the human eye, such as detecting and monitoring vegetation health.

SPOT data products supplied for all of NSW have varied from 2005-2023. They have been a combination or partial supply of the following:

1. State-wide mosaic (https://iar.environment.nsw.gov.au/dataset/spot-mosaics)

2. 100k Mapsheet tiles

3. Multi spectral scenes

4. Pan sharpened scenes

5. Panchromatic scenes (https://iar.environment.nsw.gov.au/dataset/panchromatic-spot5)

6. Reflectance scenes (https://iar.environment.nsw.gov.au/dataset/reflectance-spot)

7. Sensor radiance scenes

8. Shapefile cutlines of statewide mosaic

These satellite image products are in formats that would suit a wide range of remote sensing and GIS applications.

The NSW mosaic is available from internal DPE APOLLO Image Webserver for DCCEEW employees.
