On-Orbit Performance and Hyperspectral Data Processing of the TIRSAT CubeSat Mission
A miniaturized hyperspectral camera, developed by integrating a linear variable band-pass filter (LVBPF) with an image sensor, was installed on the TIRSAT 3U CubeSat, launched on 17 February 2024 by Japan’s H3 launch vehicle. The satellite and its onboard hyperspectral camera conducted on-orbit expe...

| description | A miniaturized hyperspectral camera, developed by integrating a linear variable band-pass filter (LVBPF) with an image sensor, was installed on the TIRSAT 3U CubeSat, launched on 17 February 2024 by Japan’s H3 launch vehicle. The satellite and its onboard hyperspectral camera conducted on-orbit experiments and successfully acquired hyperspectral data from multiple locations. The required attitude control for the hyperspectral mission was also achieved. CubeSat-based hyperspectral missions often face challenges in image alignment due to factors such as parallax, distortion, and limited attitude stability. This study presents solutions to these issues, supported by actual observational hyperspectral data. To verify the consistency of the hyperspectral data acquired by TIRSAT and processed using the proposed method, a validation analysis was conducted. |
