Elevation 30
Elevation 30 is a Digital Elevation Model derived from SPOT5 optical satellite data (developed in partnership by Airbus Defence and Space and the French survey and mapping agency IGN as reference3D) and radar spaceborne technologies allowing a greater coverage independent of terrain characteristics and weather conditions.
It has a vertical accuracy down to 6m at 30m grid spacing. It is available off-the-shelf over more than 60 million square kilometers.
This dataset is immediately available, priced simply per square kilometer, and is ideal for defense, mapping, and terrain modeling applications. The model is available tailored exactly to your Area of Interest (AOI) starting at a minimum area of just 500km².
