Measurements and Applications
HYPCAM is a push-broom hyperspectral imaging instrument covering wavelengths from 400 to 2,500 nm with approximately 10 nm spectral sampling. With a target ground sampling distance of 30 m and a swath of about 19 km, it supports agriculture and forestry monitoring, mineral mapping, greenhouse-gas assessment, and environmental monitoring.
