The Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) Mission is flying three advanced land imaging
instruments and seven revolutionary crosscutting
spacecraft technologies. The three advanced imaging instruments
will lead to a new generation of lighter weight, higher performance
and lower cost Landsat-type imaging instruments for the Earth Science
Enterprise. Additionally, the EO-1 Mission has flight validated a number
of crosscutting spacecraft subsystem technologies which
will enable future Earth and Space Science missions to be conducted
using smaller, lower weight and reduced power spacecraft buses. See
the EO-1 Instrument Image Map below to learn
more about it.
Each of the three instruments, being
flown on the EO-1 spacecraft, incorporates revolutionary
land imaging technologies which will enable future Landsat and Earth
observing missions to more accurately classify and map land utilization
globally. See instrument

Advanced Land Imager
Hyperion (Hyperspectral Imager)
Atmospheric Corrector
Seven crosscutting technologies which will reduce the cost, mass and
complexity of future Earth observing spacecraft have been demonstrated
by EO-1 and will allow more scientific payload to fly on future missions.
