Field Demonstration of a Precision Navigation Lidar System for Space Vehicles

An all fiber Navigation Doppler Lidar (NDL) system was developed at NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) to enable precision descent and landing on planetary bodies. The sensor can provide realtime high-resolution range, altitude, ground relative attitude, and high precision velocity vectors to a navigation system. This paper gives a description of the sensor development and its data products, and summarizes the results obtained by the sensor during field tests conducted in December 2012 at NASA Kennedy Space Center.
