A laser profilometer for digital terrain mapping
Abstract
A preliminary design of a space-based decimeter accuracy ranging instrument is described along with the ranging subsystem, the pointing subsystem, and attitude reference. The measurement capabilities including ranging accuracy, the signal-to-noise ratio for water, ice, and solid Earth, footprint size, and atmospheric effects are defined and the overall system with its advantages and disadvantages are summarized.
