Small PN-Code Lidar for Asteroid and Comet Missions—Receiver Processing and Performance Simulations

Space missions to study small solar system bodies, such as asteroids and comet cores, are enhanced by lidar that can provide global mapping and serve as navigation sensors for landing and surface sampling. A small swath-mapping lidar using a fiber laser modulated by pseudo-noise (PN) codes is well-s...
