The Mars Lidar Simulation Model (MLSM) Shot Coverage Model Variables |
The Shot Coverage Model (SCVM) is a stand-alone FORTRAN 90 model that allows the user to simulate satellite and aircraft missions with a variety of laser scanner patterns. The SCVM provides ASCII records of platform track and laser shot coverage (spatial and temporal) for the LSM.
