Satellite laser communication with Brandon orbits
2011 International Conference on Space Optical Systems and Applications (ICSOS), 2011We estimate worldwide zenith attenuation for 10 micron laser satellite communication systems. The attenuation may be lowered with the aid of switched ground diversity. However, real satellite systems tend to sharply raise the attenuation with low elevation angles and long atmospheric path lengths. Brandon Molniya satellite concepts are expected to give

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.

Climate Satellites with Laser Communication Links
28th AIAA International Communications Satellite Systems Conference (ICSSC-2010), 2010Low cost, high data rate laser Earth Observation Satellites will be valuable for monitoring global warming. A global warming model is described functionally: it indicates considerable warming at Northern Latitudes. We use a cloud attenuation model derived from key Italsat results to find laser cloud attenuation for satellite-ground links.

Free space satellite laser communication
2000 Digest of the LEOS Summer Topical Meetings. Electronic-Enhanced Optics. Optical Sensing in Semiconductor Manufacturing. Electro-Optics in Space. Broadband Optical Networks (Cat. No.00TH8497), 2002I present applications of satellite laser communications. Free space optical communication between satellites networked together can make possible high speed communication between different places on the Earth. The advantages of an optical communication system instead of a microwave communication system in free space are: 1) smaller size and weight, 2)

Design and analysis of the satellite laser communications network
SPIE Proceedings, 2015A satellite laser communications network structure with two layers and multiple domains has been proposed, which performance has been simulated by OPENT. To simulation, we design several OPNET models of the network’s components based on a satellite constellation with two layers and multiple domains, as network model, node model, MAC layer protocol and ...

M diversity for reliable laser satellite communication
Free-Space Laser Communications XXXIII, 2021Infrared satellite links are examined to measure earth surface temperatures. The low earth orbits would offer low cost and Brandon orbits would offer the convenience of stationary ground antennas. A square array of ground stations is considered (‘Quad Diversity’) to relieve laser attenuation, and higher order diversity is considered.

Research on Scanning Method in Satellite Laser Communication
2019 18th International Conference on Optical Communications and Networks (ICOCN), 2019Satellite laser communication has high operating frequency and strong direction. It has the advantages of high transmission code rate, small antenna size and strong confidentiality. It is more suitable for high speed and large capacity communication in space.

Optical antenna in laser inter-satellite communication
SPIE Proceedings, 2005In the modern world of telecommunications, the concept of wireless global coverage is of the utmost importance. However, real global coverage can only be achieved by satellite systems. Satellites communication is the most important mean of the communication network.
