Science. Content Warning.
NASA has recently disclosed that its lidar satellite mission, which involved the emission of energy beams into the atmosphere for a duration of 17 years, has concluded in August. CALIPSO, a collaborative endeavor between NASA and the French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES), has depleted its fuel reserves. Consequently, owing to its deteriorating orbit, the satellite has lost its ability to generate adequate power for the functioning of its scientific instruments. Consequently, the two space agencies have mutually decided to terminate the mission on August 1, as announced by NASA on Tuesday. The mission involved the integration of an active lidar instrument, which is an acronym for light detection and ranging, with passive infrared and visible imagers to investigate the vertical structure and characteristics of thin clouds and aerosols in the Earth's atmosphere. Lidar and radar both emit beams of energy towards the Earth and subsequently measure the reflection of these beams off the clouds and aerosols. Lidar is classified as an active sensor in comparison to other scientific instruments that employ passive sensors to measure reflected sunlight or radiation emitted from the Earth or clouds. CALIPSO, which is an abbreviation for the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation, was launched on April 28, 2006, in conjunction with the cloud-profiling radar system on the CloudSat satellite.
