79-channel airborne imaging spectrometer

The European Community and DLR are funding a 79-channel airborne imaging spectrometer (DAIS-7915) to be used for remote sensing applications such as environmental monitoring of land and marine ecosystems, vegetation stress research, agriculture and forestry resource mapping, geological mapping, mineral exploration and supply of data for geographic information systems. The DAIS sensor covers the spectral range from the visible to thermal infrared wavelengths at variable spatial resolutions from 2 - 30 m. Therefore, DAIS can also be used for the investigation of specifications for future airborne and spaceborne optical instruments for specific applications.
