A coherent Doppler lidar has been developed by NASA for providing vector velocity and altitude data to landing vehicles. Future robotic and manned missions to planetary bodies demand precise ground-relative velocity and altitude data to execute complex descent maneuvers for safe, soft and pinpoint landing at a pre-designated site. Operating from over five kilometers altitude, this lidar provides velocity and range data within a few cm/sec and a few meters precision, respectively, depending on the vehicle dynamics. Two upcoming lunar landing missions will serve as the technology demonstration for robotic and manned landing missions to the Moon, Mars, and other solar system destinations. This paper describes the lidar design and its expected performance on landing vehicles.
