Description
Summary:Leonardo has been involved in the realization of several infrared payloads for Earth observation since 1990. Among the currently in-orbit operative instruments are the two Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometers (SLSTRs) and PRISMA (PRecursore IperSpettrale della Missione Applicativa, meaning Hyperspectral Italian Pre-cursor of Operational mission). The SLSTRs are high-accuracy radiometers that provide sea surface temperature data continuity with respect to previous (A)ATSRs in order to serve climatology over the next 20 years, and exist within the framework of the European Space Agency Sentinel-3 mission, which is part of the Copernicus program. The PRISMA program is the first Agenzia Spaziale Italiana optical hyperspectral mission for Earth observation. It is based on a high spectral resolution spectrometer operating in the visible-short wave infrared channels optically integrated with a panchromatic camera.
