Current situation on spaceborne hyperspectral imager of Tübıtak Uzay: HSK

Tubitak Uzay has started a spaceborne hyperspectral imager development project two years ago. As hyperspectral remote sensing is getting popular, Tubitak Uzay has R&D projects both on hardware development and software applications of hyperspectral imaging. Project is at the PDR level now. Many trade-off cases are evaluated during the system engineering and preliminary design phases. We are presenting a summary of trade-off cases and lessons learnt during those studies. Optical, mechanical and electronical designs are also shown at the end of paper.
