Abstract

The Remote Sensing Technology Institute (IMF) of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) operates an airborne imaging spectrometer system called HySpex. Owing to its accurate calibration, the system is well suited for benchmark reference measurements and feasibility studies for Earth observation applications. The sensor also serves as simulator for the upcoming German satellite mission EnMAP. HySpex covers the spectral range from the visible and near infrared (VNIR) to the short wave infrared (SWIR) and it has been extensively characterised with numerous measurements in the IMF calibration laboratory (CHB). The HySpex instrument is made available to interested third party users through the user service Optical Airborne Remote Sensing and Calibration Homebase (OpAiRS).
