ICESat-2 Early Mission Synopsis and Observatory Performance. [PDF]
Earth Space Sci, 2021 Abstract The Advanced Topographic Laser Altimetry System (ATLAS) onboard the NASA Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite‐2 (ICESat‐2) is the newest Earth observing satellite for global elevation studies. The primary objectives for ICESat‐2 follow the objectives of its predecessor, ICESat and also focus on providing cryospheric ...
