The Uragan space experiment in the Russian Segment (RS) of the International Space Station (ISS) is aimed at developing scientific instrumentation and methods of Earth observation. On July 30, 2024, a new instrument named Hyperspectrometer went into operation as part of Uragan scientific instrumentation package. The instrument provides acquisition and processing of hyperspectral images of the underlying terrain using simultaneously two hyperspectral cameras: for visible and near-infrared wavebands. These data are intended for studies of spectral properties of various terrain features, as well as automatic search and identification of targets. Hyperspectral cameras can generate images of the underlying terrain in multiple spectral channels. Depending on the assigned task, for a specific imaging session the crew may choose working channels (from 1 to 100) out of 180 spectral channels. The paper provides a review of work done in the course of developing and initial operational phase of Hyperspectrometer on board the ISS RS. It provides a brief description of the instrument design and its development and testing phases. It describes the tasks carried out with the use of Hyperspectrometer. It describes special aspects of operating the hardware on board the ISS. It also provides a description of observation planning methods used on the ISS and some results obtained by processing the data received from Hyperspectrometer.
Keywords: International Space Station, ISS, Uragan space experiment, Hyperspectrometer, observation planning, data processing, remote sensing
