Hyperspectral Imager Will Communicate Climate Changes from Space

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ESPOO, Finland, Dec. 24, 2018 — The photos from a tiny IR hyperspectral camera, taken from a nanosatellite that has now reached space, could provide information useful for managing the effects of climate change. The Reaktor Hello World nanosatellite was launched into space Nov. 29, 2018, by the Finnish space technology startup Reaktor Space. The nanosatellite hosts a miniature hyperspectral camera developed at the VTT Technical Research Center. The first images were taken on Dec. 2, 2018, over the Sahara Desert. 3D render of the Reaktor Hello World satellite hosting the miniature IR hyperspectral imager for...Read full article

    hyperspectral imaging
    Hyperspectral imaging is an advanced imaging technique that captures and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike traditional imaging systems that record only a few spectral bands (such as red, green, and blue in visible light), hyperspectral imaging collects data in numerous contiguous bands, covering a wide range of wavelengths. This extended spectral coverage enables detailed analysis and characterization of materials based on their spectral signatures. Key...
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
