Past and current laser altimeter instruments in planetary research have high requirements in terms of mass, power and volume. We present a novel less resource-demanding concept based on single-photon counting techniques. The instrument concept was utilized in a flight campaign of which the setup and the data analysis is presented. A small-satellite mission to the Moon is outlined as well as further potential for miniaturization of the instrument concept.
