Abstract

The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS), launched in January 2003, is a laser altimeter and lidar for the Earth Observing System's (EOS) ICESat mission. GLAS accommodates three, sequentially operated, diode-pumped, solid-state, Nd:YAG laser transmitters. The laser transmitter requirements, design, and qualification test results for this space-based remote-sensing instrument is summarized and presented.

Abstract

Summary from only given. We have completed the manufacture, space-qualification and delivery of three flight, diode pumped solid-state lasers for the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS), the sole instrument for the ICESat (ice, cloud and land elevation satellite) mission scheduled to launch in early 2002.
