| 内容記述 | The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) was the primary instrument aboard the first ICESat spacecraft. ICESat's primary objectives are to determine the mass balance of the polar ice sheets and their contributions to global sea level change, and to obtain essential data for prediction of future changes in ice volume and sea-level. ICESat launched successfully from Vandenberg Air Force Base on January 12, 2003 23:45 UT. The ICESat science mission began in February 2003 and ended on October 11, 2009. De-orbit of the spacecraft occurred on August 30, 2010. This document focusses on the GLAS instrument operations during the ICESat mission. This document will not discuss science results. |
