The main characteristics of the new generation SPOT 4 and 5 satellites, the improved version of a series of high resolution imaging remote sensing satellites constituting the SPOT family are presented. The main objective of the SPOT 4/5 mission concern: the continuity of the SPOT 1/2/3 services and products; the extension of the high resolution mission, in particular, the addition of a new band in the middle infrared region; the development of a new optical instrument called Vegetation, characterized by a wide field of view and a high radiometric resolution for the purposes of agricultural forecasts and environmental studies; the extension of the satellite life duration; the capability to offer an embarkment to new passengers; and the reorganization and development of the ground segment.
