Abstract
EUFAR is an Integrating Activity for airborne research in Geo-science, funded by the European Commission (FP7/2008-2012). It aims at integrating operators of instrumented aircraft and hyperspectral sensors and experts in airborne measurements to ensure that researchers may have access to the most suited infrastructure they need, irrespective of the location of the infrastructure. The EUFAR consortium comprises 33 legal entities. 15 operators of airborne facilities, and 18 experts in airborne research. They contribute to 9 Networking Activities, Transnational Access to 25 installations, and 3 Joint Research Activities.
The APEX sensor is part of the instrumentation for Transnational Access. RSL is one of the 11 partners of the Joint Research Activity 2 (JRA2) on Development of quality layers for airborne hyperspectral imagery and data products (HyQuaPro). HyQuaPro builds on the heritage of Hyressa.
