Abstract

The Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (En-MAP) is a German built hyperspectral space sensor scheduled for launch in 2012. EnMAP will measure over the 420-2450 nm spectral range at a varying spectral sampling of 5-10 nm. Images will covered 30 km×30 km areas at approximate pixel sizes of 30 m. The primary goal of EnMAP is the exploitation of hyperspectral data for the derivation of highspectral resolution observations of biophysical, biochemical and geochemical variables from a range of surface covers, such as vegetation canopies, rock and soil targets and coastal waters, on a global scale. General descriptions of the EnMAP instrument, the satellite operation concept, the data processing and archiving structures and current project ...
