Validation of Hyperspectral Camera Operation with an Experimental Aircraft

HYPSO-1 is a Small Satellite with a hyperspectral camera payload inside a six unit cubesat platform, launched january 2022. This paper describes how the operation of the same hyperspectral camera is validated by deployment on an experimental airplane, and how field trials are performed together with other remote sensing and in-situ agents. The payload is presented, in addition to how the operation was planned. The raw and radiance data are presented, and various practical aspects regarding implementation are discussed. Notwith-standing some minor issues, the procedures described were successfully used to gather valid data that can be used to infer properties of the imaged regions.
