ICESat-2 ATLAS telescope testing
2015 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2015Many lessons were learned in the comprehensive testing of the one meter Beryllium flight telescope for the ICESat-2 mission. This paper will focus on testing areas of encircled energy analysis, plate scale measurements, and boresight alignment for alignment of fiber optic cables.

A Comparison of Ice Freeboard Measurement by Icesat and Envisat Altimeters
IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018Remote sensing plays an essential role in the continuous monitoring of sea ice in polar regions. This study fills the gap in literature by conducting a cross-mission analysis between ICESat and EnviSat from 2005 to 2009. The methodology consists of two parts: 1) Compare ocean surface elevation measurement.

The ICESat satellite, launched in 2003, is equipped with an altimeter that uses a laser beam to determine its distance from the Earth. Forty short laser pulses per second hit an area of Earth's surface that is 70 metres in diameter. These measurement circles are 170 metres apart.

ICESat-2 Altimetry of the Open Ocean
2019Abstract: The Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) has been developed primarily to measure the height of the Earth’s ice at high spatial resolution but it also provides satellite ocean altimetry unlike any other. To achieve high resolution it uses the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS), a photon-counting, multi-beam ...
