The Spectropolarimeter for Planetary EXploration - Airborne (SPEX Airborne) is an airborne polarimeter developed by the Netherlands Institute for Space Research (SRON). It was created to validate and test the capabilities of the spaceborne SPEX instrument. SPEX Airborne measures radiance between 400 and 800 nm at a spectral resolution of 2 nm across nine viewing angles. It has a 6-degree cross-track swath and a spatial resolution of approximately 200 meters at nadir.
