In the spring of 2007 the National Research Council released the results from the first Earth Science Decadal Survey entitled: Earth Science and Applications from Space: National Imperatives for the Next Decade and Beyond. This report recommended fifteen missions to be implemented by NASA including one joint mission between NASA and NOAA. These missions were arranged in three groups based on launch timeframe (2010-2013; 2013-2016 and 2016-2020). The second group included the HyspIRI mission that includes a visible to short wavelength infrared (VSWIR) imaging spectrometer and a thermal infrared (TIR) multispectral scanner. The imaging spectrometer measures the range from 380 to 2500 nm at 10 nm sampling and the TIR instrument measures 5 bands in the 8-12 um region. Both instruments provide global coverage and have spatial resolutions of less than 90 m. In order to prepare for the HyspIRI mission, NASA Headquarters formed science working groups for the imaging spectrometer and for the TIR components of the mission. The results of these mission concept studies were presented at NASA in the summer of 2007. This presentation provides science, instrument and mission details for the HyspIRI mission concept with the combined imaging spectrometer and TIR components.
