 This paper examines the potential of combining hyperspectral remote sensing with Sentinel-2's capabilities. It looks back on the development of hyperspectral remote sensing over the last two decades and compares it to the capabilities of Sentinel-2. The paper then goes on to analyze eight different applications areas and how they can benefit from the combination of hyperspectral and Sentinel-2 data. Finally, it concludes that the combination of hyperspectral and Sentinel-2 data could provide a powerful tool for enhancing the resolution of hyperspectral data and expanding its applications.
