Hi Rebecca:

SPOT Image recently announced a partnership with AmericaView that allows
AmericaView-member universities access to SPOT imagery at a discounted
rate.  I'm not sure if your university is a partner, but you can get
more information here:

http://www.spot.com/web/SICORP/1561-spot-image-partners-with-americaview.php

I have yet to order anything through this service, so I'm not aware of
pricing or quality.  Has anyone else ordered through this yet?

Regards,
