Welcome to HYSPIRI Mission Study Website

The HyspIRI mission includes two instruments mounted on a satellite in Low Earth Orbit. There is an imaging spectrometer measuring from the visible to short wave infrared (VSWIR) and a multispectral thermal infrared (TIR) imager. The VSWIR and TIR instruments will both have a spatial resolution of 60 m at nadir. The VSWIR will have a temporal revisit of of approximately 3 weeks and the TIR will have a temporal revisit of approximately 1 week. These data will be used for a wide variety of studies primarily in the Carbon Cycle and Ecosystem and Earth Surface and Interior focus areas. The mission was recommended in the recent National Research Council Decadal Survey requested by NASA, NOAA, and USGS.

The mission is currently at the study stage and this website is being provided as a focal point for information on the mission and to keep the community informed on the mission activities.
