Abstract :
The New Millennium Program (NMP) is an initiative to demonstrate advanced technologies and designs that show promise for dramatically reducing the cost and improving the quality of instruments and spacecraft for future space missions. The EO-1 platform hosts the Advanced Land Imager (ALI), the Hyperion Imaging Spectrometer and the LEISA Atmospheric Corrector (LAC) payloads. It was launched on November 24, 2000 and is now in an orbit one minute behind Landsat 7. Hyperion has a 7.5 km swath width, a 30 meter ground resolution and 10 nm spectral resolution. The initial mission for Hyperion is to measure and characterize on-orbit performance as thoroughly as possible and to compare with ground acceptance test data. This will be followed by activities of the EO-1 Science validation team to assess the utility of space-based hyperspectral data. This paper gives an overview of the technical innovation and on-orbit characterization scope for the EO-1 Hyperion Instrument and planned operations
