Activities and equipment

Activity	Equipment
01LTS02	Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) ATM3 is the third-generation instrument in NASA’s Airborne Topographic Mapper series. It was developed as an upgrade to ATM2, incorporating improved laser technology, higher pulse rates, and better GPS/inertial navigation integration for enhanced accuracy. Compared to ATM2, ATM3 offers finer spatial resolution (typically achieves vertical accuracy of 10 cm or better, depending on flight conditions) and faster data acquisition.
