【 摘 要 】

Presents a design to develop a Compact Coherent Laser Ranging with the following goals: Match the performance as GRACE-FO, with much reduced SWaP to fit on mini-Sat or CubeSat; Enables low cost and more frequent LL-SST gravitational missions; Immunes from ionosphere propagation delay with optical ranging; Increases the body pointing capability due to small satellite.
