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.

  • EnMAP Image Featured in Helmholtz Imaging Film!
     published on March 11, 2025
    An EnMAP image from the deserts of Iran, previously submitted to the Helmholtz Image Competition, has been selected for inclusion in the Helmholtz Imaging film. Chosen from submissions between 2021 and 2024, the EnMAP image of Siah-Kuh is one of 17 featured in the film. This strikingly colorful image, captured by EnMAP’s highly sensitive sensors, reveals an extraordinary geologic formation shaped by volcanic and sedimentary processes. Beyond its scientific value, this region holds historical significance as a former royal hunting ground and a resting place for caravans. Today, it is a protected national park (Siah-Kuh), where nature and history converge.
