LEISA
Linear Etalon Imaging Spectral Array

The Linear Etalon Imaging Spectral Array (LEISA) is an airborne infrared (IR) hyperspectral imager. It is the airborne of the LEISA satellite instrument and is used for calibration and validation. It operates across the 1 to 2.5 microns spectral range to collect IR imagery. It has a spatial resolution of 2 meters at a 1 km altitude and of 20 meters at a 10 km altitude. LEISA has a swath width of approximately 29 degrees.
