Abstract :
This paper provides a brief overview of current civilian imaging spectroscopy (hyperspectral) missions currently operating in space or ready for launch for imaging the Earth. This overview is followed by a list of missions currently under development, and the paper concludes with a survey of missions in a planning stage. The latter is probably not a complete list of missions, but provides a good cross-section of sensors, which might be in space around the 2020 time frame.
