FLORIS: phase A status of the fluorescence imaging spectrometer of the Earth Explorer mission candidate FLEX

Abstract: The Fluorescence Explorer (FLEX) mission is currently subject to feasibility (Phase A) study as one of the two candidates of ESA's 8th Earth Explorer opportunity mission. The FLuORescence Imaging Spectrometer (FLORIS) will be an imaging grating spectrometer onboard of a medium sized satellite flying in tandem with Sentinel-3 in a Sun synchronous orbit at a height of about 815 km. FLORIS will observe vegetation fluorescence and reflectance within a spectral range between 500 nm and 780 nm. It will thereby cover… Show more

“…New model formulations and developments are, however, needed to fully exploit the information content inherent in the fluorescence signal (i.e., full emission shape, peak emissions at 687 nm and 740 nm). Such information will soon become frequently available from future satellite sensors (e.g., ESA's TROPOMI onboard Sentinel-5 [51], FLORIS onboard FLEX [52]). …”

“…Further understanding of the mechanisms underlying reflectance indices and fluorescence in different vegetation types and natural environments is essential to the proposed FLuorescence EXplorer (FLEX) mission, which will enable both reflectance indices and SIF to assess photosynthetic phenology from satellites [35]. This mission will provide insight into ecosystem phenology and productivity beyond that of satellite missions providing reflectance (MODIS) or SIF (e.g., Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2: OCO-2) by allowing concurrent measurements of reflectance indices and SIF at finer scales.…”

“…It allows for a simplified assessment of hyperspectral imaging systems and provides an estimate of the expected radiometric accuracy limitations. By applying the model to investigate diffraction effects of FLORIS, the optical payload of the Earth Explorer #8 Mission Candidate FLEX [6,7], we show that an analysis based on the diffraction limited PSF significantly overestimates the corresponding stray light error.…”
