ALI Flight Validation
  • The ALI is a specific response to the Land Remote
    Sensing Policy Act wherein NASA is charged with
    ensuring Landsat data continuity through the use
    of advanced technology
  • EO-1 will provide at least 200 paired scene
    comparisons with Landsat 7
  • EO-1 flies within 1 minute of Landsat over the
    same ground track 3 km
  • Provision to collect up to 1,000 paired scenes
  • Continuous atmospheric correction available
  • Paired scene comparisons evaluated by experienced
    land imaging scientists in association with the
    Landsat Science Working Group

Hyperion Flight Validation
  • The Hyperion is a specific response to address
    the science and technology goals of the
    ill-fated Lewis mission
  • EO-1 will provide 7.5 km x 19.8 km x 220 band of
    spectral imaging data hyper-cubes
  • Hyperion is co-aligned with the innermost MS/Pan
    SCA on the ALI MS/Pan Module
  • Provision to collect up to 6,000 hyper-cubes with
    matching ALI MS/Pan and selected Landsat 7 data
  • Continuous atmospheric correction available
  • Paired scene comparisons evaluated by experienced
    land imaging scientists in association with the
    Landsat and AM-1 Science Working Groups
