Isis
Images for the scientific community
 |
In 1990 CNES undertook the ISIS programme (Incitation à l'utilisation Scientifique des Images Spot ), to facilitate access of the French scientific community to Spot imagery. Since 2001 this programme offers imagery at reasonable prices and has been extended to include all European scientists.
The Spot images are sold at a reduced rate for purely scientific purposes or for activities demonstrating the use of satellite data for implementing GMES
(Global Monitoring for Environment and Security). Among these are:
- monitoring compliance with international conventions (Kyoto protocol),
- monitoring environmental stress,
- food security,
- the prevention of major disasters.
The data are also available for university students registered for graduate or post-graduate studies (DEA , DESS) subject to approval by CNES.
