AB: Active optical and microwave sensors are presently being developed for Earth remote sensing and potentially for future planetary missions. These sensors include active designs for application in geostationary orbit, as well as for airborne in-situ measurements and for UAV applications. In addition to new instrument designs, active optical component development is underway to address many issues which will enhance future active sensors. This paper will describe some of the NASA investments currently underway in active remote sensing.
