Photon counting lidar for deep space applications: Concept and simulator
Original language description
The paper presents the concept and preliminary design of a single photon counting laser altimeter (lidar) dedi- cated for deep space rendezvous missions towards an asteroid. Overall estimated device weight and volume should not exceed 2 kg and 2 dm2 withthe power consumption below 20 W. The altimeter range evaluation precision should be on the order of 5 cm. A complex software simulator of the entire laser ranging and photon counting link has been developed and verified. The simulator framework incorporates both the three-dimensional space- craft ight mechanics and topographical maps of the surface. Altimeter performance metrics are proposed and evaluated considering the topographical surface slope, environmental conditions, footprint coverage, gate range settings, and spacecraft-to-asteroid range and velocity. The asteroid topographical mapping and landing sce- narios are discussed; specific spacecraft-to-asteroid approach phases are simulated and range reading maximum repetition rat
