Abstract
Sysiphe is an airborne hyperspectral imaging system, result of a cooperation between France (Onera and DGA) and Norway (NEO and FFI). It is a unique system by its spatial sampling -0.5m with a 500m swath at a ground height of 2000m- combined with its wide spectral coverage -from 0.4μm to 11.5μm in the atmospheric transmission bands. Its infrared component, named Sieleters, consists in two high étendue imaging static Fourier transform spectrometers, one for the midwave infrared and one for the longwave infrared. These two imaging spectrometers have very close design, since both are made of a Michelson interferometer, a refractive imaging system, and a large IRFPA (1016x440 pixels). Moreover, both are cryogenic and mounted on their own stabilization platform which allows at once to actively control and independently measure the line of sigh. These data are useful to reconstruct and to georeference the spectral image from the raw interferometric images. Sysiphe first flight occurred in September, 2013.
