Operation Plan Study for Japanese Future Hyperspectral Mission: HISUI

摘要

Japanese future spaceborne hyperspectral mission, Hyperspectral Imager Suite (HISUI), will be launched in 2015 or later as one of mission instruments onboard JAXA's Advanced Land Observation Satellite 3 (ALOS-3). HISUI will consist of a hyperspectral imager and a multispectral imager with 30 m and 5 m spatial resolution and 30 km and 90 km swath, respectively. Although observation requests to HISUI from users in various application fields are expected to be so many, the instrument duty time and the allocation of downlink resources of ALOS-3 will limit actual observation of HISUI. Various plans of HISUI operation, which satisfy as much as possible within allocated resources, will be presented.
