... is an advanced hyperspectral instrument for the Multiple User System for Earth Sensing (MUSES) platform by Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) on Board of the International Space Station (ISS). With a minimum of optical components the robust and compact optical design covers the visible and near-infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum at a high resolution. The mechanical and optical characteristics qualify DESIS for applications like farming, forestry, land cover analysis and multitemporal environmental monitoring. Data will be jointly provided by TBE and DLR to serve commercial and scientific partners starting in 2018.
