Description
Summary:The Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) is a spaceborne German hyperspectral satellite mission that aims at monitoring and characterizing the Earth's environment on a global scale. After several years delay due to a major design issue to meet the mission requirements, the mission is now back on track and planned for launch in 2021. This paper presents an update of the mission status with recent activities and developments from the space and the ground segment. Furthermore, a draft plan for the independent validation of EnMAP radiance and reflectance products was developed and will be introduced, along with highlights of the science preparatory activities in 2019 including airborne campaigns, algorithm consolidations, and HYPERedu education initiative.
