Abstract
The Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) 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 kmtimes30 km areas at approximate pixel sizes of 30 m. The primary goal of EnMAP is the exploitation of hyperspectral data for the derivation of high-spectral 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 development activities are provided in this paper.Keywords
