AVIRIS-5
Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer 5

The Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer 5 (AVIRIS-5) is an airborne imaging spectrometer developed at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). It is identical in design to the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) Imaging Spectrometer mounted on the International Space Station (ISS). It measures radiances and captures imagery across the 380-2500 nm spectral range with 425 channels at 5 nm spectral resolution. AVIRIS-5 has a spatial resolution of 8 meters.
