ORNL DAAC Request for New GCMD Project: HyTES

by ORNL - yaxingwei » Fri Nov 14, 2025 2:09 pm America/New_York

Hi,

The ORNL DAAC needs a new GCMD project vocabulary entry, here are the details:

Short name: HyTES
Long name: Hyperspectral Thermal Emission Spectrometer

Description: The Hyperspectral Thermal Emissions Spectrometer (HyTES) is an airborne pushbroom imaging spectrometer developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). It was designed to support the previous Hyperspectral Infrared Imager (HyspIRI) mission study and has been used in several research missions since July 2012. HyTES offers high spatial and spectral resolution measurements of brightness temperature (radiance), emissivity, and land surface temperature. It operates across 256 spectral channels between 7.5 and 12 µm wavelengths. HyTES instrument has 512 pixels across track with pixel sizes in the range of 5 to 50 m depending on the flight altitude. HyTES was funded through NASA’s Earth Science Technology Office (ESTO) Instrument Incubator Program (IIP).

Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.

Thanks,
Yaxing
