Spaceborne Hyperspectral Applicative Land and Ocean Mission ( SHALOM ) is a joint mission by the Israeli Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency to develop a hyperspectral satellite . [5] [2]
The mission was agreed upon in late 2010, [6] and was originally intended to build two commercial hyperspectral satellites. [7] Preliminary studies for the program started in 2012, [8] with Phase A completed in 2013. A Joint Integrated Team from Italy and Israel perform preliminary definition and studies until 2014. [9] By 2014, the project has evolved into building only one satellite. Phase B1 started in 2017 and was expected to last 12 months. [2]
In October 2015 a memorandum of understanding was signed, and the system was slated to become fully operational in 2021, [10] later pushed to 2022. [4] As of December 2021, SHALOM is expected to be operational by 2025. [1] [3] The project is expected to cost over $200 million, with the cost being split evenly between the two countries. [11]
Mission
The joint mission is expected to build a hyperspectral Earth observation satellite that will occupy the same orbit as the older Italian satellite, COSMO-SkyMed which was launched in 2007. The satellites will be equipped with instruments targeting the visible , infrared , and ultraviolet wavelengths in the 400 nm to 2700 nm range.
The satellite will use the OPTSAT-3000 satellite platform built by Israel Aerospace Industries , [2] and is expected to be about 385 kg. The payload will be limited to 120 kg [9] and is expected be equipped with:
- Panchromatic camera with a 2.5-m GSD ,
- Commercial Hyper-spectral Imaging Spectrometer (0.2-2.5 µm ) [12]
- Infrared camera (4-12 µm)
-
Spectral ranges (contiguous spectrum):
- Visible and near-infrared imaging spectrometers of 8 m in the 400-1010 nm range
- Short-wavelength infrared range imaging spectrometers of 10 m GSD in the 920–2700 nm range
The satellite is expected to launch in 2025 [1] [3] on a Vega launch vehicle. [4]
