Abstract
A small backscatter lidar for measurements from the Spacelab-facility is proposed. The purpose of this instrument is to explore the measurement capabilities of a spaceborne lidar and to assess the performance potential of future operational instruments. A first flight opportunity may arise with the German D2-mission in the early 1990's.
