This project entitled ""Wide-Swath, 10m Resolution Hyperspectral Sensor and Mission"" will explore the feasibility of using novel optical filter and detector technology in a spaceborne hyperspectral sensor that would be compact enough to fly on a small satellite while still delivering operationally superior sensitivity, coverage, and spatial and spectral resolution. Such smaller, cheaper hyperspectral satellites can be deployed in constellations that provide continental-scale imaging coverage every few days, which is critical for such applications as agriculture and defence.
