The spectral camera based on ghost imaging via sparsity constraints (GISC spectral camera) is a phase modulated compressive snapshot spectral imager. It makes use of the second-order intensity correlation of the light field to resolve the spatial and spectral information. In this paper, an optical design for GISC spectral camera which aims to obtain the desired spatial and spectral resolution is presented. A system calibration strategy based on few-mode optical fiber and monochrometer is developed. The snapshot spectral imaging experiments for the test targets and natural scenes are conducted using the prototype of GISC spectral camera loaded on the tethered balloon. The result of the spatial resolution, linearity, and spectra reconstruction error of the prototype is quantitatively evaluated. The distinguishable size at the distance of 1 km is around 0.34 m. The linearity is higher than 0.99 among the wavelength channels from 410 to 640 nm. The reconstructed spectra of eight color targets are compared with those measured by a commercial spectroradiometer. The average relative root mean squared error of the reconstructed spectra is 0.65.
