Abstract
The Space Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) at The Kennedy Space Center is an immense slab of concrete. This flat and uniform surface has little to no vegetation or structure surrounding. This environment is ideal for the study of laser propagation through atmospheric turbulence. The assumption of homogeneity is satisfied by the runway and the surrounding environment. In our experimentation visible and infrared lasers are propagated across this homogenous environment. Temperature spectra generated by sonic anemometers along with additional MET and scintillometer data will be analyzed and presented.
