Results of ets-vi satelite communications experiment -3. Laser communications experiment

摘要

The first ground-to-satellite laser communication experiments were performed during Decem- ber 1994 and July 1996 to demonstrate basic technologies for space laser communication systems. It use and optical communication package onboard the Engineering Test Satellite VI and its Companion ground optical terminals. A bidirectional optical communication link over 40000 km Was demonstrated with precise transmission control of extremely narrow laser beams at both Onboard ad ground terminals.
