Associated space launch

The satellites SPOT 1, 2 and 3 (Satellite Probatoire de l'Observation de la Terre) were the first generation of SPOT earth observation satellites operated by Spot Image.

ITAMSAT was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Ariane 40 | SPOT 3’, on board a Ariane 40 space rocket.

The launch took place on Sept. 26, 1993, 1:45 a.m. from Ariane Launch Area 2.
