June 21, 2013 Editor 0
The South African National Space Agency (Sansa) officially unveiled the “Spot 5 National Mosaic 2012” on Wednesday. This is a mosaic which covers the entire country and is composed of images taken by the French Spot 5 Earth observation satellite last year. The 2012 edition is the seventh such mosaic of the country compiled from Spot imagery.
“We want …. to ensure that we acquire the data we require as a country,” said Sansa CEO Dr Sandile Malinga. “They say a picture is worth a thousand words – a satellite image has a wealth of information and is worth a million words.”
“The Spot mosaic represents a commitment that Sansa has made, to provide quality data and services to a variety of users,” explained Sansa Earth observation stakeholder and new business development manager Imraan Saloojee. “It is used for decision-making as well as [being] used to bring benefits to society.”
