The application of lidar remote sensing techniques to the measurement of spacecraft-booster-exhaust-cloud parameters is illustrated, using data obtained from the launch of STS-3. Mie-scatter measurements of plume and cloud particulates were made by a mobile unit with computer controlled elevation and azimuth coverage. Scattergraphs of typical STS-3 lidar data are presented and discussed. The potential use of DIAL techniques to measure the concentrations of HCl, N2H4, and NO2 is evaluated in terms of EPA overall-standard-deviation guidelines. It is shown that currently operational lidar systems can be modified to determine contamination or air pollution by these molecular species resulting from spacecraft launches.
