On page 2, you state that PRISMA’s 400 nm – 2505 nm spectral range and 240 bands make it ‘an optimal tool for the characterization of the chemical-physical composition of the Earth’s surface.’ This claim is intriguing but lacks specificity. Given that other hyperspectral sensors (e.g., EnMAP, 420–2450 nm) offer similar ranges, could you clarify what unique aspects of PRISMA’s spectral resolution or band configuration justify its optimality for this purpose, particularly in the context of the studies cited (e.g., Pepe et al., 2022; Ranghetti et al., 2022)?
