FYI! I don't know how many of you were aware of this opportunity. Please check the EarthExplorer website below for any other information and updates.


NOTICE: 1/12/2010: USGS Providing Access to new SPOT data acquisitions.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in partnership with NASA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), has contracted with SPOT Image Corporation, Chantilly, VA, to receive moderate-resolution optical SPOT (Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terre) 4 and 5 satellite data over the conterminous U.S. and parts of Canada and Mexico for the next 12 months. Although a direct-reception capability will be implemented by Spring, the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Data Center is already receiving electronic deliveries of L1A SPOT scenes and posting them for access over the Internet at no charge for U.S. Federal civil agency and U.S. state and local government users, per the licensing arrangements of the Data Buy contract. All government-affiliated users must be registered and logged into the USGS EarthExplorer web site http://EarthExplorer.usgs.gov<http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/> to gain access to this new data set.



Thanks!
