Researchers from the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute and Astrobotic Technology have demonstrated a way that astronauts may be able to map Martian caves using a Lidar ...

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) equipment was used in a project intended to digitally map out the entire cave system down to the millimeter.

LIDAR has gained much popularity as a means for self-driving cars to survey the space around them. At their most basic, LIDAR is a surveying method that uses lasers to paints the space around the s… ...

An institute aimed at tracking down extraterrestrial life managed to successfully map a cave using a Nasa-backed drone with Lidar technology -- and said the mission could be reproduced on Mars.

19 Mar 2019, Mountain View, CA -- The SETI Institute and Astrobotic Technology, Inc. are announcing the successful mapping in 3D of the interior of an ice-rich lava tube in Iceland using a ...

Iowa City Maps Historic Beer Caves with LIDAR Scanning Tech. Crews are taking 3-D images of Iowa City’s historic beer caves in hopes of creating a virtual reality of the hidden landscape.

Terrestrial LiDAR for 3D imaging has matured in the last decade. LiDAR for sustainable space mapping is more complex. NuView intends to disrupt this market.

Exploring the depths of an unmapped cave system is a daunting enough prospect on its own, but think how risky it would be to do so on another planet such as Mars. That's why a new system is in the ...
