Hi Ivan!

Today, we'll talk about hyperspectral imaging with this VOA article.
http://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/nasa-earth-experiments/1655058.html

Nasa's Hyperspectral Infrared Imager Airborne Campaign could tell us a lot about large areas that are not easily studied by scientists like your country which is the largest in the world and also Brazil.  The North and South poles would also be important areas that could be easily but closely studied from the air by this plane!
