Le principe de la télémétrie laser est le suivant : un émetteur laser envoie une impulsion qui est retransmise par un réflecteur [...] vers un télescope récepteur très proche de l'émetteur. On mesure alors le temps de propagation aller et retour, d'où la distance. [...] 4, record 1, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9m%C3%A9trie%20laser
