SPOT satellite imagery (10m panchromatic, 20m multispectal - 3 bands)
is available in the U.S. for purchase from:

     SPOT Image Corporation
     1897 Preston White Drive
     Reston, Virginia  22091-4326     703-620-2200
     
This data is not cheap and it is copyrighted (i.e. once you buy it you
cannot pass it on to anyone else; an agreement on terms and conditions
for use of the data must be signed ...).  Imagery in digital format
(on 1600bpi tape) start at about $1500 per scene.  There are a few sample
scenes of selected areas in the U.S. available for $600 each.  I am not
certain that SPOT Corporation archives all that many scenes unless they
are requested by customers.
