The paper examines the measurements of hydroxyl radical in the upper atmosphere using lidar from the Space Shuttle. The measurement of the latitudinal and diurnal variation of OH would provide tests for stratospheric and mesospheric chemistry; two lidar systems aboard the Space Shuttle are described with the first providing the best signal to noise ratio for nighttime measurements at altitudes above 40 km, and the second giving a better performance during the day and at lower altitudes.
