# Next Generation Imaging Spectrometer (NGIS)

![Next Generation Imaging Spectrometer (NGIS)](https://www.andrewtool.com/hubfs/img1-carnegie-airborne-observatory-3d-chemical-map-br2.jpg)

NGIS is an innovative system that utilizes a push broom technique to capture stunningly accurate imaging spectrometry across the solar-reflected wavelength range of 380 to 2500 nm. What sets it apart is the utilization of a single Offner spectrometer design in multiple airborne instruments, including the esteemed Carnegie Airborne Observatory, National Ecological Observatory Network, and the cutting-edge Next Generation Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer. \[image:[https://microdevices.jpl.nasa.gov/capabilities/imaging-spectroscopy/nextgen-visir/](https://microdevices.jpl.nasa.gov/capabilities/imaging-spectroscopy/nextgen-visir/)\]
