Experiment of satellite laser ranging

In the 21st century, the density and transmission speed of information surrounding our society has increased, while the underwater and the seafloor observations and the sophistication of the information transmission remain issues. Underwater information, seafloor topography information, and underwater/seafloor positioning are closely related to our daily lives, resource development, disaster prevention, etc., and high-speed and high-density information collections are required. In our laboratory, by using UAV, aircraft, satellite observation, next-generation measurement technology, etc., we are conducting research and development about high-precision seafloor positioning observation technology, bathymetry measurement technology, underwater environment measurement technology, aggregation of observation information, construction of data system, and satellite utilization. We are also conducting actual ocean observations and experiments, such as UAV ocean observation experiments, satellite positioning with lasers, and actual observations for the precise seafloor positioning, as shown in the phot ographs.
