Abstract

MOLI completed its management review and transitioned to the project phase-B in August 2024. MOLI utilizes a laser altimeter and an imager with the same optical reference to accurately measure canopy height and surface elevation. This will demonstrate the reduction of uncertainty in forest biomass estimation, which is related to canopy height. Additionally, it plans to improve the accuracy of surface elevation data in digital maps using the same data. The instruments will be mounted on the International Space Station (ISS) for observation. However, due to cost constraints and the ISS's limited lifespan, the challenge of developing the flight model within a short period must be addressed. We are responsible for developing the laser optical system and laser power supply. We will present the results of these studies to demonstrate the validity of the laser design for production.
