From The Space Library
Kennedy Space Center announced the award of a 10-mo $30 000 contract to the Univ. of Miami for preliminary design of a laser system capable of penetrating water to a depth of 100 m to measure factors affecting water quality. The use of lasers to provide remote sensing of the ocean depths had been proved feasible during a NASA contract awarded to the school in 1974, The system, which would provide continuous information on temperature, salinity, and backscatter turbidity, would be tested first in a laboratory, then from a ship, and finally from an aircraft.
