Abstract

The FLuorescence EXplorer (FLEX) mission is one of the two candidates of ESA’s 8th Earth Explorer opportunity mission. A system feasibility (Phase A/B1) study is about to be completed. The FLuORescence Imaging Spectrometer (FLORIS) is an imaging spectrometer on board of a medium sized satellite flying in tandem with Sentinel-3 in a Sun synchronous orbit at a height of about 814 km. FLORIS will observe vegetation fluorescence and reflectance within a spectral range between 500 and 780 nm, allowing the monitoring of seasonal variations of the vegetation cycles. FLORIS observes the land area including coastal zones (50 km).
