In this paper we present the preliminary design of a FMCW based LiDAR for applications involving approaching large planetary bodies. To our knowledge this is the first of its kind allowing within a 25 × 25 degrees Field of View a maximum measurement range beyond 1 km and a point accuracy of 5.8 mm (at 500 m). The paper focuses on the performances of our approach and details the advantages in space of a FMCW system.
