A newgeneration hyperspectral radiometer, the HYPSTAR® instrument, with a pointingsystem and auxiliary sensors, has been designed within H2020/ HYPERNETS projectand has been recently deployed in the turbid waters of Río de la Plata estuary(Argentina). In situ data collectedautonomously during the first ten days of deployment have been compared withsurface water reflectance data from various satellites, like Landsat-8,Sentinel-2 & Sentinel-3. Results show the great potential of this automatedsystem to provide high quality and quantity of data for validation of satellitedata at all wavelengths in a multi-mission perspective.
