ATLAS instrument assembly at NASA GSFC. The sole instrument on ICESat-2 is the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS), a space-based lidar.It was designed and built at Goddard Space Flight Center, with the laser generation and detection systems provided by Fibertek.
The sole instrument on ICESat was the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS), a space-based lidar. GLAS combined a precision surface lidar with a sensitive dual-wavelength cloud and aerosol lidar. The GLAS lasers emit infrared and visible laser pulses at 1064- and 532-nm wavelengths.
The laser pulse can also be reflected by the surface of a satellite without a retroreflector, which is used for tracking space debris. [1] Satellite laser ranging is a proven geodetic technique with significant potential for important contributions to scientific studies of the earth/atmosphere/ocean system. It is the most accurate technique ...
A laser altimeter uses the round-trip flight-time of a beam of light at optical or infrared wavelengths to determine the spacecraft's altitude or, conversely, the ground topography. Examples: ICESat , MOLA .
The Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter investigation provides a precise global lunar topographic model and geodetic grid. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera addresses the measurement requirements of landing site certification and polar illumination.

NASA evaluated the performance of the following instruments: the Advanced Microwave Radiometer (AMR), the Global Positioning System payload, and the Laser Retroreflector Assembly (LRA). NASA and CNES also validated scientific data products together. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, managed the mission for NASA's Science ...
