IF1200 + Co-Aligned

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
Flight Time	~30 minutes
Mission Time	~ 26 minutes (accounts for takeoff, landing, GNSS alignment)
30m Flight 3m/s, 8m spacing	VNIR: 1.4cm SWIR: 1.8cm Coverage: ~8 acres
60m Flight 5m/s, 15m spacing	VNIR: 2.8cm SWIR: 3.6cm Coverage: ~26 acres
120m Flight 8m/s, 30m spacing	VNIR: 5.6cm SWIR: 7.2cm Coverage: ~75 acres

*Flight speeds beyond 8m/s, regardless of mission altitude, will begin to cause alignment issues between adjacent tracks in both hyperspectral sensors due to the heavily increased forward pitch of the aircraft.

Please see Operating Hyperspectral Line-Scanners for information on flight parameters and how they relate to sensor framerates and sampling rates.
