Possible applications of a lidar system onboard an airplane or onboard Spacelab were studied. The selection of lasers and detection techniques for the different tasks is discussed and intensity calculations are performed. A combination of an aerosol and a trace gas lidar is proposed for the first Spacelab mission. The aerosol lidar uses pulsed lasers, the trace gas lidar a CW-CO2-laser and a heterodyne detecting technique for the differential absorption method in the IR. The telescope of the Spacelab lidar lies within the 1 m class. An airborne lidar puts minor requirements on its subsystems. It is proposed therefore that this should precede the Spacelab lidar so that experience can be obtained with the technical subsystems, and the scientific benefits can be appraised.
