  abstract = {{T}his article presents the {MISTIGRI} project of a microsatellite developed by the {F}rench space agency {C}entre {N}ational d'{E}tudes {S}patiales ({CNES}) in cooperation with {S}pain ({I}mage {P}rocessing {L}aboratory of the {U}niversity of {V}alencia and {C}entro para el {D}esarrollo {T}ecnologico {I}ndustrial ({CDTI})). {MISTIGRI} is a mission that has the originality of combining a high spatial resolution (approximate to 50 m) with a daily revisit in the thermal infrared ({TIR}). {MISTIGRI} is an experimental mission devoted to demonstrate the potential of such {TIR} data for future operational missions. {T}he scientific goals and expected applications of the mission are described: they encompass the monitoring of (i) agricultural areas and related hydrological processes, (ii) urban areas, and (iii) coastal areas and continental waters. {T}hen, the specifications on spatial resolution, revisit frequency, overpass time, and spectral configuration are justified. {T}he strategy of the mission is based on the combination with a network of long-term experimental sites. {I}t will also make possible observing some areas facing rapid climatic change. {T}he choice of the orbit is presented. {F}inally, we give rapid overviews of both the instrumental concept and the proposed mission architecture.},
