Airborne visible–shortwave infrared (VSWIR) imaging spectroscopy is rapidly becoming the missing link between on‑farm sensing and forthcoming satellite missions. NASA AVIRIS-3 flew over Cornell and USDA-ARS research farms as well as nearby commercial vineyards and orchards in July 2025 as part of NASA Acres’ “AVIRIS4Acres-NY,” campaign. The instrument captured detailed fingerprints of every plant, allowing scientists to spot disease and nutrient stress before the human eye. Interactive maps were shared online within minutes so growers could zoom in on their farms and problem areas. By matching the images with hundreds of leaf samples, the team is building AI/ML based models to warn growers of stress earlier and guide smarter management intervention. Our project shows how pairing stakeholder input with cutting-edge imaging can turn NASA data into day-to-day decisions for specialty crop growers.
