ACT Lidar Antenna Project Featured on CNN
The Metalens Origami Deployable Lidar Telescope (MODeL-T), an ESTO ACT-22 project at GSFC, was featured in a 7-minute Tech for Good CNN segment in early December. The MODeL-T project is developing a ~1.6 m collection aperture to enable smaller, lighter and less expensive implementation of space-based lidar while improving measurement performance.
