ESA is planning to perform the Atmospheric Dynamic Mission from the International Space Station. The Space Station is a multi purpose platform, many experiments will be carried out during the same time. Therefore, the Doppler lidar instrument ALADIN, the main sensor to get wind information (atmospheric dynamics observation) in the troposphere is not on an ideal platform. There is no full coverage and there is limited observation time caused by other orientation of the space station. To answer the question of the usefuliness of a Doppler lidar on the space station the so called targeted observation was mentioned. Is it possible to get results for the weather forecast improvement if one focuses the observation in sensitive (for the forecast) areas of the globe? Both, sensor specialists and numerical weather prediction scientists work together to answer this question in the Aladin Impact Study. First results will be presented.

We demonstrate a high-repetition-rate millijoule passively Q-switched eye-safe Nd:YVO(4) laser pumped by a quasi-CW diode stack. A theoretical analysis has been explored for the design criteria of generating TEM(n,0) mode in the diode-stack directly side-pumping configuration. We successfully generate TEM(n,0) modes at 1064 nm by adjusting the gain medium with respected to the laser axis. We further observe the spatial cleaning ability for generating an nearly TEM(0,0) mode output at 1573 nm with a monolithic OPO cavity. At the repetition rate up to 200 Hz, the output pulse energy reaches 1.21 mJ with the threshold pump energy of 17.9 mJ.
