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

Image of the month December 2025 -- Lake Torrens National Park, Australia
Lake Torrens and Andamooka Island, located within South Australia’s Lake Torrens National Park, are striking features of the arid Australian outback. Andamooka Island, a large salt flat surrounded by the waters of Lake Torrens, is part of one of Australia’s largest salt lakes, stretching about 250 km long and 30 km wide and covering roughly 5,700 km², which only fills with water during rare, heavy rainfall events. The region’s unique geology—including ancient sedimentary layers and mineral-rich soils—supports specialized flora and fauna adapted to extreme salinity and drought, making it a significant site for studying arid-zone ecology and geological history.

New HYPERedu Online Course 'Beyond the Visible – Imaging Spectroscopy for Forest Applications'
As part of the HYPERedu EnMAP education initiative, the first Massive Open Online Course on the ‘Principles of Imaging Spectroscopy’ was released in November 2021. Three shorter MOOCs followed: ‘Agricultural Applications’ (2022), ‘EnMAP Data Access and Image Preprocessing Techniques’ (2023) and ‘Soil Applications’ (2024), along with the German version of the Basic MOOC (2025). The series has been very well received by the hyperspectral community – over 1246 participants have completed the ‘Beyond the Visible’ Online Course Series at this date!
Since 03 December 2025, HYPERedu’s fourth ‘mini’ MOOC on forest applications has been permanently available at EO-College. All learning videos can be additionally accessed through the HYPERedu YouTube channel. More information about the courses as well as the registration links can be found on the course page at EO-college.
