Spot 1

 1986-019A

---

Matra built the SPOT 1 satellite for CNES, which launched it aboard an Ariane into sun synchronous polar orbit in Feb 1986.

SPOT 1 was deactivated in 1993, but was to be reactivated in Nov 1996 to make up for the loss of SPOT 3. By this time, the on board tape recorders had failed and data had to be recovered by ground station real time passes.

In 2003, with 54 kg of prop remaining, the satellite's perigee was lowered to decrease its orbital life, with decay expected in 2018. First, the orbit was lowered in two burns by 15 km to avoid collision risks with the other SPOT satellites and position apogee over Toulouse; then a series of burns were made at apogee to lower perigee including a large final depletion burn. The resulting orbit had an estimated lifetime of 18 years. SPOT 1 was then decommissioned.
