A Hyper-Spectral Imager (HSI) instrument has been designed for a lunar
mission sponsored as part of the Google Lunar X-prize endeavor. The HSI instrument is contributed to team FREDnet's Open-Source mission development. The imager provivides hyper-spectral image cubes using the techniques developed by Sellar. The image cubes are comprised of 1024 X 1024 spatial-spectral planes obtained by a pushbroom configuration of an instrument with no moving parts. The HSI has been designed with NASA/CalPoly Cubesat standard. A smaller no moving parts monolthic instrument is planned for a project required lunar pico-rover. Lunar X-prize Missions are expected to launch prior to the end of 2014 using new commercial rocket vehicles. This lunar endeavor carries with significant undergraduate research involvement.
