Laser ranging from space for geoscience use

James B. Abshire

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Laser ranging measurements from space can address significant issues in earth and planteary geosciences. With recent electro-optic technology, laser systems can meet the difficult requirements of the space environment. Laser altimeters and ranging systems have been launched, selected or are viable candidates for several space missions.
