Description:
The Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) is a spaceborne German hyperspectral satellite mission that aims at monitoring and characterizing the Earth's environment on a global scale. The mission is now ready to start with the sensor being by end of 2021 in Flight Acceptance Review, ready to be shipped to the launch pad in early 2022. This paper presents first an update of the mission status with recent activities and developments from the space and the ground segment. Then, an update of selected highlights of the science segment activities at launch phase are presented including preparation and if possible early results for the validation of EnMAP products, updates on EnMAP science algorithms (EnMAP-Box) developed at GFZ, online education initiative (HYPERedu), and further mission support activities such as background mission.
