Abstract:
A description is given of a lidar system for determination of the distance to the Moon. This system has a resolution of 1 nsec and it consists of a laser transmitter, a photodetector, a pulse processing subsystem, as well as timing and guiding subsystems. The system has been in operation since 1978. The parameters of the subsystems and the errors in the determination of time intervals are discussed.
