The laser pulse can also be reflected by the surface of a satellite without a retroreflector, which is used for tracking space debris. [1] Satellite laser ranging is a proven geodetic technique with significant potential for important contributions to scientific studies of the earth/atmosphere/ocean system. It is the most accurate technique ...
The first successful laser-communication link from space was carried out by Japan in 1995 between the NASDA's ETS-VI GEO satellite and the 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT)'s optical ground station in Tokyo achieving 1 Mbit/s. [5]
Techniques of satellite geodesy may be classified by instrument platform: A satellite may be observed with ground-based instruments (Earth-to-space-methods), carry an instrument or sensor as part of its payload to observe the Earth (space-to-Earth methods), or use its instruments to track or be tracked by another satellite (space-to-space methods).
SpaceX's thousands of Starlink satellites in low-Earth orbit use inter-satellite laser links to pass data between one another in space at the speed of light, allowing the network to offer broader ...
LAGEOS (/ l eɪ ʒ iː oʊ s /), Laser Geodynamics Satellite or Laser Geometric Environmental Observation Survey, are a series of two scientific research satellites designed to provide an orbiting laser ranging benchmark for geodynamical studies of the Earth. Each satellite is a high-density passive laser reflector in a very stable medium Earth ...
The technology demonstration payload will be positioned above the equator, a prime location for line-of-sight to other orbiting satellites and ground stations. Space laser communications technology has the potential to provide 10 to 100 times higher data rates than traditional radio frequency systems for the same mass and power. Alternatively ...
LASARsat (Laser-Assisted Satellite Reentry satellite) is a Czech scientific microsatellite, which is to be launched into Earth orbit before the end of 2024.. The LASARsat mission is a continuation of the Czech high school team LASAR, [1] which won the Conrad Challenge, a global STEM competition held in Houston. [2]
The technology uses a person's eye as a mouse, so looking at players would highlight them, allowing the user to simply pinch their fingers to select them. Player laser tracking
