Current status of OICETS laser-communication-terminal development: development of laser diodes and sensors for OICETS program

摘要

Abstract: OICETS is under development by NASDA to verify the optical data link technology. The experiment in orbit will be done establishing optical link between the OICETS and ARTEMIS in cooperation with ESA. This presentation explains current OICETS Laser Terminal development status. The LUCE EM is under assembling phase and the test will be finished in 1997. LUCE uses wto 200m LD's for transmitting. Selection procedure of the flight parts and some of the performance requirements are also presentation. !4
