EnMAP - The future hyperspectral Satellite Mission Product Generation

The basic components of the future German satellite mission EnMAP (Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program) are the project management led by the Space Agency of the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) located in Bonn-Oberkassel, the space segment consisting of the satellite bus and the hyperspectral instrument established by Kayser Threde in Munich and OHB-Systems in Bremen, the science advisory group headed by GFZ (Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum) and the ground segment led by DLR. The ground segment is responsible for the establishment of missions operations (e.g. satellite and instrument control), provision of the payload ground segment services (e.g. data reception, operational processing, archiving, user interfacing, product handling) and development of the processor/calibration/validation (PCV) system. This paper describes briefly the EnMAP mission, the mission objectives, the instrument and satellite bus characteristics, the ground segment structure and mainly addresses the concept and activities within the PCV sub-system, which is responsible for the generation of high quality hyperspectral data products
