It will produce hyperspectral surface images of comparable resolution to Landsat satellites.
[1] The Flora Hiperspectral is a joint project between the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of NASA and the National Institute for Space Research of Brazil.
This mission will produce the first time in orbit, hyperspectral images with a spatial resolution and global coverage comparable to that of the Landsat satellite and CBERS program.
Data will study the biochemical and biophysical properties of soil cover and the action of man (for example, deforestation and fires) on ecosystem functioning.
Hyperspectral data are obtained in narrow strips, contiguous and in sufficient number to build spectra similar to the laboratory.
