The Italian Space Agency ASI has appointed Thales Alenia Space to conduct a feasibility study alongside Leonardo, Telespazio, e-GEOS, and Sitael for a new phase in the programme. A key role will be played by the new hyperspectral sensor produced in the Campi Bisenzio plant.
A feasibility study is about to begin for PRISMA Second Generation, a hyperspectral Earth observation mission offering even more advanced performances. The Italian Space Agency (ASI, Agenzia Spaziale Italiana) has awarded the project to Thales Alenia Space, alongside Leonardo, Telespazio, e-GEOS and Sitael. The mission’s hyperspectral sensor will also be developed by Leonardo in Campi Bisenzio (Florence).
