Abstract

There are currently three operational lidar systems orbiting the Earth, the Moon and the planet Mercury gathering scientific data and images to form a better understanding of our Earth and solar system. In this paper we will present an overview of the spaceborne laser programs and offer insights into future spaceborne lasers for remote sensing applications.
