Satellite Laser Ranging and its Applications
Celestial Mechanics, 1985Satellite laser ranging (SLR) provides an important capability for precise orbit determination and for geophysical parameter estimation to support a number of contemporary geodynamic and oceanographic investigations. The precision of the SLR measurement has improved from the early meter-level systems to the current capabilities of a few centimeters for

Coherent inter-satellite and satellite-ground laser links
SPIE Proceedings, 2011Since February 2008 coherent laser communication links are operational in-orbit. Transmitting data at a rate of 5.625 Gbps they verify the capability of laser communication exemplarily in LEO-LEO and Ground-LEO constellations. The LEO-LEO links run with a bit error rate of 10-11. Acquisition typically is closed within seconds.

Currently in the initial stages of development, the endeavor aims to use satellite-to-satellite tracking laser interferometer-based optical technique, to document fluctuations in earth's gravitational field indicating other critical changes in the environment. This system must be able to measure infinitesimal changes in the relative velocity of the two

Optical Metrology Terminal for Satellite-to-Satellite Laser Ranging
2022Interferometric laser ranging is a powerful enabling technology for high-precision satellite-to-satellite tracking within the context of Earth observation, gravitational wave detection, and formation flying. Since the launch of the gravity field mission GRACE Follow-On in 2018, the onboard Laser Ranging Interferometer has successfully been operating as

Determining the range to a satellite in orbit around the earth utilising the technique of satellite laser ranging (SLR) was pioneered in the early 1960s. The first successful ranging experiment was reported in the 3 December 1964 issue of Flight International (Smith 1964). Dr. Henry H. Plotkin of Goddard Space Flight Centre led a NASA team to track the

Laser in satellite remote sensing
PICALO 2010: 4th Pacific International Conference on Laser Materials Processing, Micro, Nano and Ultrafast Fabrication, 2010Satellite communication is a very complicated issue thinking guiding it from the ground. Laser guiding system is a very efficient for this purpose. The satellite will contain a Laser control panel where there will be a laser receptor and control unite. It will act as on the ground control center.

The ICESat satellite, launched in 2003, is equipped with an altimeter that uses a laser beam to determine its distance from the Earth. Forty short laser pulses per second hit an area of Earth's surface that is 70 metres in diameter. These measurement circles are 170 metres apart.

Laser Satellite Communication Systems
2009Overview: In this chapter we consider statistical quantities introduced in Chaps. 6-9 and adapt them to vertical and slant path propagation links. Most of the analysis presented here is for a slant path connecting a satellite in geostationary orbit and a ground or airborne platform.
