The laser altimeter system to be installed in the Mars-94-project aerostate balloon gondola, designed for the measurements of the Martian surface relief and for determining the aerostate drift height is described. The altimeter system includes a miniature laser, an objective with associated optics, a photoreceiver equipped with a device for measuring time intervals, and an interface for data and command exchange with the microprocessor aboard the aerostate balloon. The preliminary model tests indicate that the distance-measurement accuracy of this system can reach about 1.5 m within a distance range of 5-500 m.
