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.

  • New processor version fixes spectral noise in EnMAP L2A water products at blue wavelengths
    published on March 18, 2024
    Users of EnMAP L2A water products have reported the existence of systematic spectral noise at blue wavelengths, namely below 500 nm. After extensive investigation, which discarded the presence of the effect in EnMAP L1B, L1C and L2A land products, the problem was pinpointed to the spectral sampling of the sensor response functions for the atmospheric correction over water in the vicinity of Fraunhofer lines where the solar irradiance spectrum varies rapidly with wavelength.
  • Foreground Mission
    published on March 15, 2024
    Starting in March 2024, EnMAP is initiating a foreground mission dedicated to acquiring 1000 km long flightlines primarily over Germany during the vegetation period (March to October). The goal is to optimize the acquisition rate and establish a systematic database of time series covering Germany and Europe, while considering the diverse interests of users. The ground segment aims to prioritize the repeated acquisition of the specified flightlines every month. Please be aware that short-term changes in planning may still occur due to other mission priorities or weather conditions, that could cancel some of the monthly planned acquisitions.

  • Wildfires in Chile
    published on February 16, 2024
    The Center for Satellite-based Crisis information (ZKI) of DLR created maps for this disaster, based on data of the German hyperspectral satellite mission EnMAP in the frame of the International Charter of Space and Major Disaster.
  • Back to nominal operations on 19.12.2023
    published on December 19, 2023
    After a two-week interruption, the EnMAP mission resumed nominal operations on Tuesday 19.12.2023. User requests are being considered again after the resumption of operations.

    The EnMAP Team wishes you Happy holidays. We hope that the interest in EnMAP will continue to grow in the New Year and we look forward to supporting and working with you in 2024.

  • Unexpected outage since December 7
    published on December 08, 2023

    Since Thursday, December 7, the EnMAP mission has experienced an unexpected interruption and no image acquisitions have been performed since then. The problem has been analyzed and recovery is underway. We expect to resume operations latest on December 22. Other EnMAP services, such as catalog ordering and future acquisition planning, are not affected by this outage.
