First-generation miniaturised VNIR hyperspectral imager developed by cosine Research BV (Warmond, Netherlands) for small satellite platforms. Covers 400-1000 nm in 45 spectral bands at 16 nm sampling, 70 m GSD, 200 x 140 km swath from 500 km orbit. Mass 1.3 kg, 10 W power, 1.5 L volume. First flew on ESA GomX-4B (launched February 2018, mission ended March 2023) as the first miniaturised spaceborne hyperspectral imager with onboard Level-2 processing capability. Succeeded by HyperScout-2 (adds TIR channel); both generations currently offered as build-to-order payloads.
HyperScout-1 is a miniaturised VNIR hyperspectral imager developed by cosine Research BV (Warmond, Netherlands) for small satellite platforms.[1] It covers 400-1000 nm across 45 spectral bands at 16 nm spectral sampling, delivering 70 m ground sampling distance and a 200 x 140 km swath from 500 km orbit. The instrument has a mass of 1.3 kg, draws 10 W, and occupies 1.5 L volume.
HyperScout-1 first flew on ESA GomX-4B[2], launched February 2018, as the first miniaturised spaceborne hyperspectral imager with onboard Level-2 processing capability.[2] In-flight calibration and product validation studies have been published for the instrument.[3] The CEOS database records the instrument under instrument ID 1890.[4]
HyperScout-1 is the predecessor to HyperScout-2, which adds a TIR channel. Both generations are currently offered as build-to-order payloads by cosine.
