Description
The Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) is a German spaceborne imaging spectroscopy mission aimed at providing accurate information on the state and evolution of ecosystems, their response to human activities and the management of natural resources. Since November 2022, nearly 3000 scientific users from over 90 countries have registered for receiving data. Users feedback, as collected during these years at conferences and workshops dedicated to hyperspectral imagery, is extremely positive.
All mission data are freely available for scientific use worldwide. The EnMAP planning system accepts scientific observation requests from users upon submission and approval of an observation proposal for future acquisition requests and also gives access to archived data.
Over the course of more than two years of operation, several enhancements have been made to the mission, significantly improving the quality and accessibility of data.
In this talk, we will give an overview of the mission, the current acquisition strategy based on the foreground and background mission concepts and the possibility of acquiring data. Additionally, we will highlight opportunities for potential collaborations and applications.
