Phoenix landing Hope that aint a DX Greenie :)






Now the guys who built it are all like "Oh I sure hope those guys at Spymodex know their stuff." :D LOL...Mega FAIL!
 
Look like they got landing confirmation already. I wonder what the other rovers are up to. I know the one that landed in 2004 was still doing stuff in 05 or 06.
 
I wonder if the real laser is actually IR and they just colored a green beam for the animation.....sort of like what they do for anything with an invisible laser beam. Otherwise you wouldn't know there was supposed to be a laser there at all. Most people (meaning those who only know about lasers from movies like StarWars) have never heard of IR lasers or even know that a laser can have an invisible beam.

If they're using it for measurements and ranging - or signaling - I'd imagine it's probably really an IR laser, DPSS w/o the KTP.
 
The lidar laser is a passive Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with the dual wavelengths of 1064 nm and 532 nm. It operates at 100 Hz with a pulse width of 10 ns. The lidar is vertically pointing. The scattered light is received by two detectors and operates in both analog and photon counting modes.[40][41]
