A method for observing a region of the Earth's surface, called region of interest, implementing a plurality of satellites spaced apart along at least one non-stationary orbit, the method comprises: the acquisition, by at least two of the satellites, during a same passage over the region of interest and in successive acquisition periods, of a plurality of images of the Earth's surface, called partial images, each covering a portion of the region of interest; and the obtaining of an image covering all of the region of interest by the merging of at least two partial images, exhibiting a predefined time shift between their acquisition periods, for each of the at least two satellites. A satellite system for observing a region of the Earth's surface for the implementation of such a method, and ground segment belonging to such a system is provided.
