Robotic sensing

Romania is a leader in an ambitious project of building an instrument for the detection and monitoring of tiny airborne particles, called lidar, informs a release of the Romanian Space Agency sent to AGERPRES on Wednesday.

Greek high-tech company Logikon Labs has signed a two-year contract with the European Space Agency to design, manufacture and test a laser altimeter demonstrator breadboard implementing novel 3D imaging technologies and laser ranging (LIDAR) techniques that will be used in future Earth Observation and Planetary Exploration missions.
