description SPOT-7 Overview
SPOT-7 is an optical Earth observation satellite built by Airbus Defence and Space and launched in 2014. It was designed to operate as part of a constellation alongside its twin satellite, SPOT-6, providing high-resolution commercial imagery. The satellite captures 1.5-meter resolution panchromatic and 6-meter multispectral images useful for mapping, agricultural monitoring, and disaster management. Later in 2014, the spacecraft was acquired by Azerbaijan's space agency, Azercosmos, and subsequently renamed Azersky to support the country's remote sensing needs.

Who built SPOT-7?
Airbus Defence and Space built SPOT-7. The satellite was designed to supply commercial high-resolution optical imagery of Earth's surface.
What resolution does SPOT-7 provide?
SPOT-7 provides imagery with approximately 1.5-metre resolution in its highest-resolution mode. That level of detail supports mapping, land monitoring, and infrastructure observation.
Why was SPOT-7 paired with SPOT-6?
SPOT-7 and SPOT-6 were designed to work as a paired constellation rather than as isolated satellites. Their coordinated coverage improved revisit opportunities for commercial Earth-imaging customers.
