Laser remote sensing from space is undoubtedly one of the most promising means to obtain essential atmospheric and geophysical parameters on a global scale. Efforts including feasibility assessments, technology developments, and mission definition studies are in progress at the European Space Agency (ESA) to prepare for the prospective use of laser remote sensing systems in space. An overview of the programs under way is presented and the perspectives of laser remote sensing in the context of ESA's Long-Term European Space Plan are discussed.
