EnMAP Operations in Light of Data Product Statistics

Abstract

The hyperspectral mission EnMAP has been launched in April 2022 delivering data products with a quality exceeding the expectations. Still, there were challenges in the context of planning and processing the data, especially serving the demand over regions with many acquisition requests. The EnMAP Ground Segment (GS) provides the infrastructure responsible for the operation of the mission and it acts as the interface between the users and the satellite. In this contribution we present the up-to-date status of EnMAP mission operations when the system has been in operation for over two and a half years. The latest updates that have been introduced in the tasking of the instrument such as the background and the foreground missions accompanied by the enabling of back-to-back imaging are presented. The result of the incorporation of the additional ground station is shown as well as the status of the reprocessing.
