**Off-nadir coverage math** (know the numbers): - The tilted view lets SPOT image any point within a **~900 km swath** on either side of the ground track. - **Equator:** a given point can be imaged **7 times** per 26-day cycle. - **Latitude 45°:** **11 times** per cycle → about **157 times per year**, average **2.4 days** between views (minimum 1 day, maximum 4). - With all three SPOTs flying, **95%** of Earth was imageable **every day**.
