NAOMI (SPOT-6)

NAOMI (SPOT-6)

Main objectives

• Collect and archive high-resolution, reflective multispectral and thermal image data globally (over land).

• Ensure that data are consistent with data from the earlier SPOT missions, to permit studies of rapid response satellite tasking

• Designed to improve the knowledge and management of the Earth, through detecting and forecasting phenomena involving climatology and oceanography, and monitoring human activities and natural phenomena
