Results are presented of studies undertaken to define the proposed system concept and the hardware for a Space-Shuttle-borne wind-sensing coherent lidar system. The required system parameters are determined, including a continuous conical scan of the telescope with a half cone angle of 62 degrees centered on nadir, telescope diameter of 1.25 microns, laser pulse energy (10 J), pulse repetition frequency (8 Hz), pulse duration (6 microsec), and laser wavelength (9.11 microns), based on considerations of wind vector accuracy, area coverage and sampling density, signal detectability, and Space Shuttle compatibility. Also examined are the requirements for platform stability, navigation and attitude determination, line-of-sight pointing and lag angle compensation, on-board Doppler processing, and prime power and thermal dissipation.
