Small All-Range Lidar for Asteroid and Comet Core Missions

Small All-Range Lidar for Asteroid and Comet Core Missions

Show other versions (1)

We report the development of a new type of space lidar specifically designed for missions to small planetary bodies for both topographic mapping and support of sample collection or landing. The instrument is designed to have a wide dynamic range with several operation modes for different mission pha...
