Earth observation satellites are used to observe the earth surfaces, sea surfaces, ocean currents, clouds, etc., from space. Observation instruments are installed on satellites for remote sensing purposes. There is a relatively short development time for a long duration mission. Once launched, it has the advantage of being able to observe wide areas. Instrument operations can be easily performed from the console of a ground control station. Issues with satellite-based remote sensing are as follows: a lengthy development time from planning to actual operations, significant initial investments, risk of launch failure and inability to repair the satellite up in space. 1, record 9, English, - observation%20satellite

Aujourd’hui, le satellite d’observation est devenu indispensable aux scientifiques et aux industriels comme aux militaires. Il offre à chacun d’entre eux une multitude de raisons d’observer la Terre depuis l'espace dans le moyennement visible aussi bien que dans l'infrarouge ou en ondes radar qui, elles traversent les nuages. Équipés de systèmes de vision de plus en plus performants, les satellites d’observation sont capables de couvrir de manière systématique et répétitive des portions de territoires immenses et produisent des images pourtant très détaillées. Ainsi le satellite français «SPOT», qui représente la référence en matière de télédétection civile permet de découvrir des objets d’une dizaine de mètres sur chacune des images de 60 km de côté qu'il prend à l'altitude de 830 km à laquelle il orbite. Ses capacités de visée oblique autorisent à la fois la prise de vues stéréoscopiques qui restituent le relief du terrain, et l'observation répétée d’une même région sans attendre d’en repasser à la verticale. Recul, détail, répétitivité et souplesse d’emploi par une programmation au jour le jour : autant d’atouts qui font du satellite un outil proche des besoins des clients utilisateurs, organismes nationaux ou internationaux comme simples particuliers. 2, record 9, French, - satellite%20d%26rsquo%3Bobservation
