A compact 22-element 1 cm retroreflector array will be carried aboard the joint ONR commercial hyperspectral remote sensing Naval EarthMap Observer (NEMO) satellite as an experimental package. Figure 1 illustrates the concept. The primary interest within the NEMO program is the comparison between the spacecraft's on-board GPS derived orbit and an independent Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) orbit. The presence of the retroreflector array aboard NEMO also affords additional research opportunities into orbital dynamics and atmospheric correction of hyperspectral data. NEMO's current launch date is June 2000.
