Science Mission: CRESPO II
Parameter
Requirement for Maritime
Hyperspectral Imaging from
Space
Rationale
Off-nadir pointing
+/-30 deg
To increase scene access frequency
Spectral Range
400 - 800 nm
•800-1000nm or 900-1800nm
Water-penetrating wavelengths
NIR for atmospheric correction
Spectral Channel
Width
10 nm
Sufficient resolution to resolve spectral
features
Signal to Noise Ratio
> 200 to 1 for a 5% surface
albedo scene
Provides adequate residual SNR after
atmospheric removal
Polarization
Sensitivity
< 5%
Sensor response to be insensitive to
polarized atm light
Ground Sample
Distance
100 meters
( 30%?)
Comparable to scale of coastal features
Scene Size
Hundreds to Thousands of
square kilometers
To encompass the scale of coastal
dynamics
HSFL Facilities: Launch Support
Pacific Missile Range
Facility (PMRF)
Local launch facility and
mission support
Using launcher within
PMRF boundaries
HSFL/UH to enter into
host-tenant agreement
with PMRF that will
allow HSFL launch
facility.
Launch Vehicle
Kauai Test Facility (KTF)/
Sandia National Lab
Experience with solid rockets and
missile design.
Heritage working with PMRF as
on-site contractor

HSFL Future Prospects
HIGP faculty research opportunities with new HSFL
missions.
Funds from launch operations would be used to
stimulate new HIGP faculty research and mission
concepts.
UH to become the gateway for university-class and
small satellite space access. Potential to relieve logjam of national small satellite projects waiting for
space validation of hardware.
UH to provide unique, one-of-a kind student training
and research opportunities from spacecraft design to
launch to on-orbit operations.
Reliable, low-cost access to Earth orbit for small
payloads.
Total cost is $9.0 million/launch; $2.25 million
each for 4 small satellites.
Workforce development and training spawning hitechnology activities on many islands.
HSFL Summary
If Hawaii were a country, we would be
the 8th “nation” in the world to have
this capability. Instead, we’ll be the
only university worldwide that can do
build, launch and maintain satellites in
space.
HSFL is seeking new proposals for
science and technology demonstration
missions to support HIGP, SOEST, and
UH faculty research!
