Not to be confused with Aspen HYSYS, a software to simulate chemical processes.
HySIS (Hyperspectral Imaging Satellite) is an Earth observation satellite which will provide hyperspectral imaging services to India for a range of applications in agriculture, forestry and in the assessment of geography such as coastal zones and inland waterways[2][3] The data will also be accessible to India's defence forces.[4][5]
