The NSW SPOT 2025 imagery product is a state-wide satellite dataset for NSW Government. The SPOT 2025 satellite data acquisition period was from December 2024 to May 2025. The imagery scenes used to create the NSW mosaic includes Lord Howe Island. This imagery data set has been acquired through GeoImage Pty Ltd and Airbus Defence and Space.
SPOT satellites offer high resolution imaging over broad areas in a single pass at resolutions up to 1.5m. Such precise coverage is ideal for applications at national and regional scales from 1:250,000 to 1:15,000. SPOT 6 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.
