Abstract
A LIDAR system is an important navigation sensor that can make the long range distance measurements necessary to rendezvous with and touchdown on a target asteroid. More efficient mapping of a planetary surface requires the function of two-dimensional scanning for the purposes of navigation and scientific observation. In this report, we propose a novel scanning system for LIDAR that has a relatively large aperture diameter for long range measurement. The large aperture of the receiver telescope and a frictionless mechanism are realized by means of novel optics and MEMS technology. This report introduces an outline of the two-dimensional scanning LIDAR system and reports the results of fundamental experiments.
