| 内容記述 | In Dec. 1991 TITAN SPECTRON successfully completed its six year effort to design, build, space qualify, test, and deliver the Laser Transmitter Module (LTM) for NASA LaRC's LITE program. The delivered LTM is a three color Q-switched flashlamp pumped Nd:YAG laser that is described as the first true world-class lidar in space. The preliminary design and verification tests results were first presented at the 14th International Laser Radar Conference (ILRC) in 1988. This paper describes not only the delivered product but also the verification and space qualification processes that resulted in the world's first space qualified high powered laser system for environmental exploration from space. Video of the laser operating in a Class 100 clean room and subsystems undergoing 10 G vibration tests will provide a vivid illustration of the key elements that separate a space qualified system from its laboratory counterpart. Flight laser performance measurements form the baseline in post-delivery test results to be presented at this conference. |
