Full Text :
The GEOSCIENCE LASER ALTIMETER SYSTEM (GLAS) is a part of the EOS program. This laser altimetry mission will be carried on the spacecraft designated EOS ICESat (Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite). The GLAS laser is a frequency-doubled, cavity-pumped, solid state Nd:YAG laser. The GLAS instrument will provide both surface laser altimetry and atmospheric lidar data. The science goals and requirements are documented in the GLAS Science Requirements Document which is listed in the Bibliography. This document provides the algorithms to convert the instrument data from raw counts into engineering units suitable for input to the science algorithms described in further ATBDs.
