Target:

            Geology and mineral mapping of the Flinders Ranges.Mt Fitton is a geological area with high spectral contrasts and applications to mineralogy and geochemistry. It has been extensively flown and measured spectrally and is an ASTER site for which it has been flown by TIMMS. Mt Fitton provides a very significant test for spectral resolution and integrity of the Hyperion in the SWIR. It is well mapped and has distinct features for precise geometric registration to allow the data comparison and integration with (eg.) ASTER data. The patches of different spectral material in Mt Fitton occur in large units making it an ideal study site.
