abstract = {In November 2015, the FLuorescence EXplorer (FLEX) was
selected as the eighth Earth Explorer mission of the
European Space Agency. The tandem mission concept will
provide measurements at a spectral and spatial resolution
enabling the retrieval and interpretation of the full
chlorophyll fluorescence spectrum emitted by the terrestrial
vegetation. This paper provides a mission concept overview
of the scientific goals, the key objectives related to
fluorescence, and the requirements guaranteeing the fitness
for purpose of the resulting scientific data set. We present
the mission design at the time of selection, i.e., at the
end of project phase Phase A/B1, as developed by two
independent industrial consortia. The mission concepts both
rely on a single payload Fluorescence Imaging Spectrometer,
covering the spectral range from 500 to 780 nm. In the
oxygen absorption bands, its spectral resolution will be 0.3
nm with a spectral sampling interval of 0.1 nm. The swath
width of the spectrometer is 150 km and the spatial
resolution will be 300 x 300 m². The satellite will fly in
tandem with Sentinel-3 providing different and complementary
measurements with a temporal collocation of 6 to 15 s. The
FLEX launch is scheduled for 2022.},
