Spatial Acquisition Algorithms and Systems for Intersatellite Optical Communication Links.

Abstract

Spatial acquisition strategies and technologies are analyzed for optical communication systems. Theoretical analysis is followed by examples and comparisons to aid system design. Examples are given for state-of-the-art technology appropriate for space applications. Originator-supplied keywords include: laser communication and satellite cross links.
