Now the device is being tested at the RSC at the twin stand of the Zvezda service module

MOSCOW, January 31. /tass/. A hyperspectrometer that will allow remote sensing of the Earth as part of the Hurricane experiment will soon be installed on the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS). This is stated in the message of the Rocket and Space Corporation (RSC) Energia (part of Roscosmos), distributed on Monday.

"In the near future, a unique hyperspectrometer will be installed on the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS RS), which, as part of the Uragan space experiment, will help solve problems related to remote sensing of the Earth from orbit," the message says.

As specified in the corporation, at the moment the device is being tested at the RSC at the stand-twin of the Zvezda service module. The hardware module developed by the Lepton company will be installed on the porthole of the station, it will shoot in spectral ranges. A special mounting bracket and software were developed at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) according to the technical task of Energia.

Hyperspectral photography, the report says, can be compared with a microscope that penetrates into the thin structure of the object being photographed and allows you to get much more information about it. "In the world, space hyperspectrometry is widely used to solve problems of global and regional ecology, agriculture, forestry and water management, monitoring of various emergency situations," RSC Energia explained.

Processing of the survey results will be carried out directly on board the station for more operational analysis. "The equipment, after it is installed on the station's porthole ring with the help of special software and a movable electromechanical bracket, will independently target the required shooting point," the corporation added.

The images and spectrometric information that can be obtained as part of the Hurricane experiment are used by the Institute of Geography, the Institute of Space Research, the Institute of Problems of Mechanics, Bauman Moscow State Technical University and others. "The project will continue to develop both on the ISS platform and on the future Russian orbital service station, which is currently being designed," the RSC added.
