Unlocking Power of Hyperspectral Satellite Data：NODA's Global Initiative for Scientific Collaboration
May 16, 2024
Hyperspectral satellites offer more precise quantitative analysis than multipectral satellites, making them invaluable for global ecological monitoring, crop identification, and biodiversity research.
On May 6, 2024, the world's first 10-meter-resolution Wide-Swath Hyperspectral Satellite Dataset (OHS-10M) was officially opened to global users for sharing.
Derived from the Cooperation on Accessing and Application of Spaceborne Hyperspectral Data (CASH) program, initiated by NODA in 2020, the dataset was jointly developed by Zhuhai Orbita Satellite Big Data Co., Ltd. (Orbita) and the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), covering the Aral Sea in Central Asia and Luang Prabang in Laos.
The CASH program aims to establish a network for open sharing of high-quality, low-cost hyperspectral satellite data globally, fostering scientific research for public welfare. Part of the CASH program, CASH Study Area for Hyperspectral Observation (CASH-SAHO) project seeks to designate significant regions worldwide as joint observation zones. These zones will undergo continuous observation by various hyperspectral satellite and ground-based instruments coordinated by CASH member organizations, generating extensive, open accessible datasets for scientific collaboration and innovation.
