Abstract
Several ESA missions incorporate high power laser systems as core constituents of the payload. Instruments based on techniques such as Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) can offer extremely accurate measurements of great scientific and industrial interest such as atmosphere composition, wind speed, aerosol presence, topography and water depth, surface backscattering and many more. Other active optical techniques such as Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) enable the remote testing of the composition of rocks. Rendezvous sensors can guide the approach and docking of spacecraft, or assist in the descent of a lander on a surface.
