The next generation LiDAR: Small, light and eye safe

Development of a new LiDAR sensor, which is going to be lighter and smaller than the RVS 3000-3D.

Within the frame of a DLR project we are - together with several partners - developing new LiDAR technologies, with the goal of a miniaturized space-qualified LiDAR sensor. Due to the selected key components, the new LiDAR will be significantly lighter, smaller and will have a reduced power consumption.

µRVS will be qualified in the upcoming years.

Possible application areas are:

  • rendezvous and docking to cooperative as well as non-cooperative targets
  • robotic in-orbit assembly
  • support of the navigation system for rover or buggy
