Abstract
As part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Space Station program, a lidar facility is being planned to conduct a series of scientific experiments from a polar orbiting platform. The thrust of these experiments is to improve our understanding of atmospheric chemistry and dynamics, altimetry, and meteorology. A number of scientific experiments were recently developed by a panel of scientists and lidar technologists and included both atmospheric backscatter (Lidar) and Differential Absorption and Lidar (DIAL) experiments.
