Carbon dioxide Doppler lidar wind sensor on a space station polar platform

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A study has been performed of the feasibility of accommodating a carbon dioxide Doppler lidar on a Space Station polar platform. Results show that such an instrument could be accommodated on a single 1.5- × 2.25-m optical bench, mounted centrally on the earth facing side of the satellite. The power, weight, and thermal issues appear resolvable. However, the question of servicing the instrument remains open, until more data are available on an isotopic CO2 laser lifetime.
