EO Sign In Authentication (Open): This collection is openly accessible but requires users to log in with an EO Sign In account (a system used across ESA Earth Observation services) before any downloads can proceed.

Access Steps:

1. Create or log in to EO Sign In account.
2. Go to the Dissemination Service or Exploring Earth service. 
3. Browse or search for the collection. 
4. Download product. 

The products are available for download via the ESA Third Party Missions (TPM) dedicated dissemination service and catalogue. The data is collection based and allows data browse and download through the treeview as well as via geographical search using a clickable zoom map.

SPOT products can also be discovered through ESA's Exploring Earth service, which allows users to browse and download products among the available datasets from ESA and Third Party Missions and instruments, using various criteria (spatial, temporal).

At the end of SPOT-4 mission, the Take5 experiment was launched and the satellite was moved to a lower orbit to obtain a 5 day repeat cycle, same repetition of Sentinel-2. Thanks to this orbit, from 1 February to 19 June 2013 a time series of images acquired every 5 days with constant angle and over 45 different sites were observed.

In analogy to the previous SPOT-4 Take-5 experiment, also SPOT-5 was placed in a 5 days cycle orbit and 145 selected sites were acquired every 5 days under constant angles from 8 April to 31 August 2015.

With a resolution of 10 m, the following processing levels are available:

• Level 1A: reflectance at the top of atmosphere (TOA), not orthorectified products
• Level 1C: data orthorectified reflectance at the top of atmosphere (TOA)
• Level 2A: data orthorectified surface reflectance after atmospheric correction (BOA), along with clouds mask and their shadow, and mask of water and snow.
