Abstract
The Bepi-Colombo Laser Altimeter (BELA) is the first European Laser Altimeter for planetary exploration which has been selected by ESA for flight aboard of ESA's BepiColombo mission to planet Mercury. A consortium led by the Physikalisches Institut Bern and Institut für Planetenforschung (DLR-Berlin, Germany) will develop a laser altimeter based on the classical principle of laser pulse time of flight measurement. The instument is based on a longitudinally pumped Nd:YAG laser with 50mJ pulse energy and pulses of about 3ns pulse duration, operating nominally at 10Hz repetition rate. The BELA-requirements, the conceptional design, the technical development activities and their status are presented during the workshop.
