Description:
EnMAP (Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program) is a high-resolution imaging spectroscopy remote
sensing mission that was successfully launched on April 1st, 2022. Equipped with a prism-based dualspectrometer,
EnMAP performs observations in the spectral range between 418.2 nm and 2445.5 nm with
224 bands and a high radiometric and spectral accuracy and stability. EnMAP products, with a ground
instantaneous field-of-view of 30 m×30 m at a swath width of 30 km, allow for the qualitative and quantitative
analysis of surface variables from frequently and consistently acquired observations on a global scale. This
article presents the EnMAP mission and details the activities and results of the Launch and Early Orbit and
Commissioning Phases until November 1st, 2022. The mission capabilities and expected performances for the
operational Routine Phase are provided for existing and future EnMAP users.
