- Abstract
The Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) is a joint project of German space industry, Earth observation research institutions and value-adding (VA) resellers. The overall mission goals of EnMAP are to provide high-spectral resolution observations of bio-geochemical and geophysical variables, to observe and develop a wide range of ecosystem parameters encompassing agriculture, forestry, soil/geological environments and coastal zones/inland waters and to enable the retrieval of presently undetectable, quantitative diagnostic parameters needed by a broad user community. The entire EnMAP space segment consists of a hyperspectral instrument covering the visible, near- and short-wave infrared wavelengths and an appropriate bus. Following a competitive and successfully accomplished phase A, EnMAP is now in the design phase (Phase B) and will upon successful completion continue in Phase C/D end of the year. By the industrial prime ship of Kayser-Threde, the scientific lead of the GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam (GFZ) and the funding by the German Aerospace Agency (DLR), the ongoing activities aim towards a system launch in 2011. The paper presents the actual status in the design phase of the EnMAP satellite.
