Hyperion: A 0.4 Micrometer - 2.5 Micrometer Hyperspectral Imager for the NASA Earth Observing-1 Mission

Abstract

A hyperspectral imaging payload has been developed for the NASA New Millennium Program (NMP) Earth Observing-1 satellite (EO-1) which provides 30 meter resolution, 7,5 km swath, earth images in 220 continuous 10 nm spectral bands from 0.4 micrometer to 2.5 micrometer. The instrument includes an internal and a solar calibration sub-system The Hyperion imaging payload was developed for the EO-1 satellite in 12 months and is scheduled to be launched in June 2000, This paper describes the Hyperion design, development and performance.
