EnMAP

EnMAP (Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program) is a German hyperspectral imaging satellite mission developed by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to provide high-spectral-resolution observations of the Earth's surfaces for environmental monitoring and scientific research.

Instrument and capabilities: EnMAP carries a pushbroom hyperspectral imager covering the visible to near and shortwave

Operations and data products: The satellite operates in a sun-synchronous low Earth orbit and collects data

Impact and access: EnMAP aims to support environmental monitoring, land-use planning, agriculture, forestry, disaster response, and
