Scuola Autunnale Iperspettrale Underway With ROSA, ASI and DLR

The Scuola Autunnale Iperspettrale is listed as in corso, with Agenzia Spaziale Romena as organizer and Agenzia Spaziale Italiana and DLR as collaborating contributors. Its listed dates are 2026-10-12 and 2026-10-16.

Agenzia Spaziale Romena is identified as the organizer. Agenzia Spaziale Italiana and DLR are listed under partnership for collaboration and contribution.

The event’s status is given as in corso. The associated dates are 2026-10-12 and 2026-10-16.

The school is described as training a new generation of researchers and experts. Hyperspectral optical technologies are said to be in a growing development phase and to require investment in qualified personnel training. Capacity building is called necessary where competencies are isolated and sporadic.

The school admitted 30 participants. Participants are listed as coming from universities, research centers and companies in Romania, Italy, Poland, Moldova and Bulgaria.

The program includes frontal lessons, practical exercises and guided image processing sessions. It also includes one day of field spectroscopic measurements for validation, and participants follow five days of experimental and analytical chain. The school is called the first of its kind internationally and references Hyperion, PRISMA and EnMAP as past or currently operative hyperspectral satellite missions.

ROSA researchers are listed as trained by ASI and DLR in the past two years. ROSA technical personnel are listed as providing new hyperspectral remote sensing competencies to young researchers, and the teaching offer includes experienced teachers and ROSA researchers.

Giacomo Lazzeri illustrated HyperCoreg, described as an automated pipeline that geometrically coregisters PRISMA and EnMAP images using Sentinel-2 reference data. HyperCoreg was developed by Team ASI and José Antonio Gámez García, is publicly available and was published in a recent international scientific journal article.

EXPERT is a Horizon Europe project titled Reaching Excellence in Hyperspectral Remote Sensing. The European Commission is listed as funder of EXPERT under Grant Agreement n. 101160059. Deodato Tapete is listed as Primo Ricercatore e Responsabile ASI del progetto EXPERT.

For readers tracking the lunar industry, the provided facts do not state a direct lunar connection. The verifiable relevance is that hyperspectral optical technologies are described as in a growing development phase and requiring qualified personnel training.

The event also shows international capacity building: ROSA organizes, ASI and DLR collaborate, and admitted participants come from five countries.

Its listed ties to PRISMA, EnMAP and EXPERT make it a concrete example of training connected with currently operative hyperspectral missions and a funded European project.
