ScanEx is now the exclusive regional partner throughout the Russian Federation for the SPOT 4 and 5 satellites, and the upcoming SPOT 6 and 7 satellites, guaranteeing continued access to high-resolution optical data.
Exclusivity over the next ten years will allow ScanEx to secure access to high-resolution data up to 2019.
Astrium CEO Eric Béranger said that this was the first time in the remote-sensing industry that satellites had been developed through entirely private funding.
The SPOT 6 and SPOT 7 satellite constellation will provide high-resolution data of 2.5m and optical sensors will retain a 60km swath of coverage with an improved resolution of 1.5m and a daily acquisition capability of six million square metres.
