Abstract
This paper describes the operating principle and lists the main characteristics of a laser transmission module for the rangefinder intended for use in the far-space expedition to the Martian satellite Phobos, intended to start in 2011. A distinguishing feature of the laser included in the transmission module is rapid, nonmechanical switching of the direction of the directional pattern for measuring oblique ranges and computing the normal to the surface.
