Design and performance data for two laser transmitters for spaceborne laser ranging are presented. The first laser uses a master oscillator/power amplifier configuration consisting of a diode pumped Nd:YAG slab ring and a multipass diode pumped slab amplifier which can operate at 40 Hz for more than ten to the ninth shots. The other laser is a diode pumped Nd:YAG slab standing wave oscillator which operates at 10 Hz for more than 0.6 x 10 exp 9 shots. The lasers were specifically developed for reliability, for use in space exploitation of the Earth and nearby planets. Applications include planetary altimetry of Mars (MOLA) and Earth (GLRS), as well as space geodesy, navigation, and tracking.
