There are a multitude of uses in space flight for non-contact three-dimensional information. Examples include structural motion of large structures such as the International Space Station (ISS), landing site sensing during final approach of a multitude of planetary bodies including the Earth, robotic and telerobotic vision sensing, rendezvous and docking, or biomedical measurements. To produce a sensor that can meet this myriad of needs, NASA-JSC and Sandia National Laboratories have recently developed a system called the Laser Dynamic Range Imager (LDRI). This system uses diffuse modulated laser illumination coupled with an intensity modulated video receiver to produce video and range images. The resulting data produces displacement time histories at each of 25,000 active pixels from the range as well as the two cross-plane directions. This system flew on STS-97 as part of ISS construction mission 4A. A variety of on-going enhancements of this technology are driving utility of this technology for a large number of in- space and terrestrial applications. This presentation will cover the following: the basic concept; the development of this technology in support of STS-97/ISS-4A; the operational experience from that flight; results from that mission such as measurements to support the resolution of the solar array tensioning anomaly, structural dynamics measurements, and undocking/fly-around data; on-going technology developments; and future applications of the technology.
