The IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society organizes this workshop to discuss current and planned space lidar missions, techniques and associated emerging and enabling technologies. The workshop will provide the opportunity to explore ways to increase collaboration among the space‐agencies and organizations, to enhance future active space‐based remote sensing observations.

Over 50 participants from six government space agencies (NASA, ESA, JAXA, CNES, DLR, ONERA), twelve Research Institutes, and eleven industries will be gathered with a broad range of expertise in science, engineering, technology development, and policy formulation to tackle diverse challenges at hand, and find innovative solutions through international partnerships.

ReACT participates in this workshop to present the progress on the development of the prototype WALL-E polarization lidar, aiming to measure for the first time the preferential orientation of the desert dust particles.
