Spot Image is developing close relations with its partner stations despite their geographical separation.
Christian Perget, Spot Image manager of the operational interface with Asian, North American and mobile receiving stations. “When fires broke out in the Canberra region of Australia, we quickly programmed our satellites to image the affected area. The Australian receiving station began receiving SPOT imagery within 24 hours, enabling authorities to handle the disaster on the ground and make an initial estimation of damage”.
