Also worth knowing

Technology stems from Norwegian Defence Research Establishment background of founders. HySpex Art Scanner originally developed for Louvre's C2RMF and now used by museums and conservation experts worldwide. Hyperspectral imaging activities started 1995 with ESA HISS project. Sceye completed full diurnal flight in stratosphere with HySpex systems. HySpex Mjolnir is the first hyperspectral imaging system designed for UAVs providing true hyperspectral data for all pixels. Design originally made for airborne use has been flying since 2003. No products that have reached end of life. Norsk Elektro Optikk is Norway's largest independent electro-optics research and development company. Senior NEO researcher received 2.7 million euros from European Research Council. Norsk Elektro Optikk expanded to Europe with new office in Berlin as HySpex GmbH designed to serve EU customers.
