Welcome to EnMAP

The German Spaceborne Imaging Spectrometer Mission

The Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) is a German hyperspectral satellite mission that monitors and characterizes Earth’s environment on a global scale. EnMAP measures geochemical, biochemical and biophysical variables providing information on the status and evolution of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. More information about the main objectives and the status can be found on the mission page.

The planned schedule of upcoming priority acquisitions is available in the Foreground Mission

  • SWIR dark signal effect corrected
     published on November 19, 2024
    An inconsistency in the SWIR dark frames in Earth datatakes creates a small effect in EnMAP SWIR data which may be best seen at low radiance levels (e.g., for very low Sun zenith angles and night scenes). A dedicated correction of the SWIR dark signal was therefore developed based on selected Earth night scenes and shown to fix the issue. A significant part of the SWIR across-track striping as well as the random noise at these low signals is significantly reduced by the correction.
  • New processor version provides viewing angles in metadata
     published on October 15, 2024
    Since processor version V01.05.00, the viewing zenith and azimuth angles are now provided directly in the metadata of EnMAP L1B, L1C and L2A products. The corresponding fields in the metadata are called viewingZenithAngle and viewingAzimuthAngle. For more detailed definitions, please refer to the L1C ATBD (see in particular Secs. 10.3 and 10.4) and the Product Specification Document.
  • EnMAP enters the Era of Big Data for Hyperspectral Foundation Models
     published on August 29, 2024
    A novel hyperspectral data product from the EnMAP satellite mission is readily available for geospatial analytics through EOC Geoservice. Based on, the dataset SpectralEarth for hyperspectral foundation models is provided, cf. https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2408.08447.
  • Direct Download of L2A Analysis Ready Data from DLR Geoservice and EO-LAB
     published on August 27, 2024
    EnMAP Mission users now have an additional possibility to access L2A Analysis Ready Data (ARD) by registering with DLR’s Geoservice (https://geoservice.dlr.de/web/) or through the EO-LAB cloud. These services enable registered users to directly download L2A ARD data, which have already been processed using EnMAP’s Ground Segment processors and default processing parameters. This new access option provides immediate product downloads and facilitates the retrieval of large volumes of EnMAP data (see Data & Access section for a complete overview).
  • 2nd EnMAP User Workshop 2025
     published on August 19, 2024
    The 2nd EnMAP User Workshop 2025 ‘From Hyperspectral Data to Environmental Understanding’ will take place in Munich at Schloss Nymphenburg from 2-4 April, 2025
