*Terra Image USA SPOT Satellite Imagery Offer* Terra Image USA is a company dedicated to making commercial satellite
imagery broadly accessible. We have focused our efforts on SPOT, becoming the exclusive distributor to the US civilian
government market, because of SPOT's unique ability to economically, quickly and reliably cover large areas at a useful
resolution. SPOT's 2.5 m imagery is the least cost substitute for aerial photography, either where higher resolution
isn't available or required at all, or where it's only available or required in limited areas of interest.
