The Spaceborne Imaging Spectrometer Desis: Data Access and Scientific Applications

The DLR Earth Sensing Imaging Spectrometer (DESIS) is a space-based instrument installed and operated on the International Space Station (ISS) [1]. This space mission is the achievement of the collaboration between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the US company Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE). DLR has developed the instrument and the software for data processing [2], while TBE provides the Multi-User System for Earth Sensing (MUSES) platform, where DESIS is installed, and the infrastructure for operation and data tasking [3].
