Atmospheric Density and Temperature Vertical Profile Retrieval for Flight-Tests with a Rayleigh Lidar On-Board the French Advanced Test Range Ship Monge
The Advanced Test Range Ship Monge (ATRSM) is dedicated to in-flight measurements during the re-entry phase of ballistic missiles test flights.Atmospheric density measurements from 15 to 110 km are provided using one of the world’s largest Rayleigh lidars.This lidar is the culmination of three decades of French research experience in lidar te
