NEMO PROGRAM

The NEMO program is a cooperative program between the Navy (ONR & NRL) and Industry to develop a space based Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Satellite to meet Navy requirements in the littoral zone. NEMO will address critical needs of the Navy, scientific, and commercial communities for high spatial and spectral resolution remote sensing data. These areas include bathymetry, water clarity, currents, oil slicks, bottom type, atmospheric visibility, tides, bioluminescence, beach characterization, underwater hazards, vertical atmospheric water vapor profiles, and detection and mapping of sub-visible cirrus.

The NEMO mission will use ACT as the commercial operations center to provide both the Naval and commercial communities easy and timely access to data. ACT will be responsible for integration and operation of the Image Processing Center (IPC). THE IPC will perform the image quick-look, data processing, and data archive.
