Technology demonstration of an ultra-compact, high-resolution, hyperspectral imager that is able to monitor fossil fuel burning and low-level passive degassing at volcanoes. If successful, it will be a paradigm shift in space-borne sensing?from expensive single-platform, large-satellite instruments, to agile constellations of relatively inexpensive instruments on small satellites.
