The LIDAR In-space Technology Experiment (LITE) is scheduled for flight in mid-1994 on the Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-65) as its primary payload. The purpose of this experiment to gather data based on the atmospheric backscatter from the earth's upper and lower atmosphere from the 3 color Neodymium:YAG based lidar. The heart of this experiment is the Laser Transmitter Module (LTM). Designed and built by TITAN/SPECTRON, the LTM is a dual redundant, flashlamp pumped Nd:YAG laser that emits 3 wavelengths at 1064, 532 and 355 nm. This paper describes the systems approach used to develop, test and built the worlds first high powered laser system for use in space.
