摘要：

The main characteristics of the new generation SPOT 4 satellite, the improved version of a series of high resolution imaging remote sensing satellites constituting the SPOT family, are described. The main objectives of the SPOT 4 mission are (a) the continuity of the SPOT 1/2/3 services and products; (b) the extension of the high resolution mission, in particular, through the addition of the new band in the middle infrared region; (c) 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; (d) the extension of the life of the satellite; (e) the capability to offer an embarkment to new passengers; and (f) the reorganization and new development of the ground segment.
