Plans to conduct a technology experiment with a Shuttle-based lidar instrument are described. The design of the Lidar In-Space Technology Experiment (LITE) is presented, including performance goals for the laser transmitter, telescope, optical receiver, and associated electronics. Experimental results from space flight of the LITE instrument are used to define performance criteria and designs for future atmospheric sounding experiments planned for the Space Station, Earth Observing System platform, and for more complex scientific lidar experiments.
