Dual-detector pushbroom hyperspectral imaging spectrometer, sole payload of the EnMAP satellite (launched 1 April 2022, routine ops 2 November 2022). Built by OHB System AG as prime contractor; operated by DLR Earth Observation Center (Oberpfaffenhofen). Covers 420 to 2450 nm across 228 spectral bands: 99 VNIR bands at 6.5 nm sampling, 163 SWIR bands at 10 nm sampling, merged at the 900-1000 nm overlap. 30 m GSD, 30 km swath, 14-bit radiometric resolution, SNR exceeding 500 in VNIR. Off-nadir tilt to 30 degrees enables 4-day revisit. One of three operational civilian full-VNIR-SWIR hyperspectral imagers in orbit; SWIR coverage to 2450 nm covers diagnostic absorption features for clay, carbonate, sulphate, and phyllosilicate minerals.
