# HyperScout-2
*sensor . products*

Dual-channel miniaturised hyperspectral and thermal imager developed by cosine Research BV (Warmond, Netherlands) for small satellite platforms. VNIR channel covers 400-1000 nm in 45 spectral bands at 16 nm sampling, 75 m GSD; TIR channel covers 8000-14000 nm in 3 broadband thermal filters, 490 m GSD. Swath 310 x 150 km from 540 km orbit. Total mass 1.7 kg, 12 W peak power. First launched September 2020 on ESA PhiSat-1 as the first spaceborne hyperspectral instrument with onboard AI cloud-detection capability. Offered as a build-to-order payload for nano, micro, and larger satellite platforms with 3-month lead time.
