The previous effort in the 2000s, known as IceSat-1, showed remarkable promise as an ice-sensing tool. However, its mission was blighted by fragile diode technology, and it could only use its laser for a handful of months a year. "IceSat-2 is a micro-pulse laser," says Nasa project scientist Thorsten Markus.
