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

    Moreton Bay in Queensland, Australia, is bordered by Moreton and Stradbroke Islands and supports rich biodiversity across diverse habitats, including coral reefs, turtles, and migratory birds. Key environmental features include sedimentation and water quality. Located at the transition between tropical and temperate climates, the bay lies adjacent to Brisbane, host of IGARSS 2025, and contains one of the highest dugong densities along Australia’s coast.

     published on June 30, 2025

    The area is located in the far north-west of Saudi Arabia. The Tabuk Province is a vast desert region characterized by flat to hilly terrain, sparse vegetation and extreme climate conditions. The red sand in Tabuk is the result of iron-rich sandstones, whose minerals oxidise in the air and give the sand its reddish color.
