2025 Space-based Lidar Remote Sensing (SLRS)
November 2 – 7, 2025
Kimpton Armory Hotel
Bozeman, Montana
Advance registration is required. Registration includes all social events, tea, and coffee breaks at conference premises.
SLRS offers a platform for scientists and technologists from various countries, government agencies, industry, and universities to meet and discuss critical topics related to current and planned space lidar missions, techniques, and emerging technologies
Additionally, it will serve as an opportunity to address challenges and common issues while exploring ways to enhance collaboration among space agencies and organizations. This collaboration is essential for improving future active space-based remote sensing measurements.
Workshop goals:
- Evaluate the scientific requirements for space-based lidar measurements, instrument synergies, and the readiness of lidar techniques to fulfill these requirements.
- Introduce upcoming space-based lidar missions and present / discuss results from existing and past lidar space-based missions.
- Explore the challenges and future directions in research and technology development.
- Explore strategies to reduce risks and costs for space-based lidar instruments while enhancing mission longevity.
- Identify synergies and ways to enhance space lidar missions through international cooperation among various space agencies and organizations.
- Document the results in the completion and update of the white paper from prior workshop.
