The design, calibration, and performance of the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) receiver are described. The MOLA measurements include the range to the surface, which is determined by the laser-pulse time of flight; the height variability within the footprint determined by the laser echo pulse width; and the apparent surface reflectivity determined by the ratio of the echo to transmitted pulse energies.
描述了火星轨道激光高度计（MOLA）接收器的设计、校准和性能。MOLA的测量包括到表面的距离，该距离由激光脉冲飞行时间确定；由激光回波脉冲宽度确定的足迹内的高度变化；以及由回波与发射脉冲能量之比确定的表观表面反射率。
