Geological, environmental and climate change projects are incorporating airborne and satellite hyperspectral data into their analysis. Many of these studies benefit from the additional information that hyperspectral sensors provide for analysis. Hyperspectral remote sensing collections are usually on a single aircraft with a single sensor. This report describes an experiment using two hyperspectral sensors: ProspecTIR a VNIR - SWIR sensor with 356 channels and spectral range of 0.4 - 2.5 m, along with SEBASS, a MWIR - LWIR sensor with 128 channels from 2.5 ? 5.3 m and 128 channels from 7.6 - 13.5 m. SpecTIR's Prospectir system and The Aerospace Corporation's Spatially Enhanced Broadband Array Spectrograph System (SEBASS) are pushbroom sensors, have high signal to noise ratios, have similar swath widths and instantaneous fields of view. The experiment will focus on mineral/lithologic identification and mapping along with environmental assessment in the western United States.
