The POLIPHON 1 Introduction method comprises the traditional lidar technique to separate mineral dust and non-dust backscatter contributions and the Polarization lidar is a very powerful remote sensing tool for new, extended approach to separate even the fine and coarse aerosol and cloud research.

Abstract. There are laser retroreflectors on the Moon, of the INFN-ASI Affiliation-Association to NASA- but there were no laser retroreflectors on Mars until the SSERVI sservi.nasa.gov) is shown in the figure below. NASA InSight mission [1][2] landed and started oper- ating successfully on the surface of the red planet on Nov. 26, 2018. The ESA ExoMars Schiaparelli mis- sion, which unfortunately failed Mars landing in 2016, was carrying a laser retroreflector like InSight [3]. These instruments are positioned by measuring the time-of-flight of short laser pulses, the so-called “laser ranging” technique (for details on satellite/lunar laser ranging and altimetry see https://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov).

The rapid development has allowed us to grow and take new steps to prepare for the future. MASER 14 and inauguration of SubOrbital Express as a service Our MASER 14 sounding rocket reached an altitude of approximately 250 kilometers and spent over six minutes in microgravity. The mission inaugurated SubOrbital Express, a service to enable research into microgravity applications, atmospheric physics or other scientific disciplines. In this microgravity environment, we conducted experiments on fluid drainage, X-ray radio graphy and dust formation.
