Imaging spectrometers for terrestrial and planetary remote sensing - A progress reportAttention is given to two major design approaches, the 'whiskbroom' and the 'pushbroom', in the present consideration of imaging spectroscopy for both planetary and terrestrial missions. A near-IR mapping spectrometer has been developed for the Galileo Jupiter Orbiter Mission; on the basis of this design, and incorporating focal plane array technology improvements, a family of imaging spectrometers exemplified by the Visual and IR Mapping Spectrometer is under development for other planetary missions.
