Superspectral imaging is a type of spectral imaging defined by the number and width of the spectral bands. It also is written as "super-spectral". Superspectral imaging is typically defined as more than 10 spectral bands, with some being narrower than their counterparts in multispectral imaging. The larger number of bands and narrower bandwidths enable finer characterization of target spectral characteristics than multispectral imaging. Hyperspectral imaging describes yet higher spectral resolution, with hundreds of very narrow contiguous spectral bands.

Examples of superspectral imaging satellites include:

ASTER, MERIS, and MODIS
