GSFL-16KS Space 3D Flash LIDAR™

ASC’s GSFL-16KS series global shutter flash LIDAR (gsf-LIDAR) is designed for space applications, including close-proximity spacecraft operations, on-orbit debris removal, synthetic resident space object (RSO) detection, tracking, and characterization, as well as planetary landing hazard detection and avoidance. The GSFL delivers real-time 3D range and intensity video without the dynamic image distortion and sparse point densities common to scanning LIDAR, and it avoids the large data processing delays, as well as the size, weight, and power demands typically associated with single photon detection (SPD) LIDAR technologies. Each pixel is automatically correlated in both space and time. The GSFL-16KS-RH is a radiation-hardened, TRL-9 global shutter flash LIDAR designed for deep space and crewed space missions, while the GSFL-16K-RT model offers an affordable, radiation-tolerant option for short-duration missions.
