Abstract :
Femtosecond pulse lasers offer breakthroughs in precision metrology particularly in the fields of time, distance and spectroscopy. This advance attracts much attention to extend today´s space missions by improving the precision of remote sensing and control capabilities. In this presentation, we introduce how femtosecond lasers are being investigated for space explorations in the near future.
