1992 Eurospace Powersat FInal Report

o Silex is based on two active units o target acquisition needs two laser beacons (from transmitter and receiver, i.e. receiver with the same complexity as the transmitter) o transmitter and receiver use the same telescope (beam expander), i.e. coalignment problems between transmitter line of sight and tracking camera LOS are minimized - configuration not applicable for powersats (the target should be passive) - transmitter and tracking sensor optics have to be separated for the following configurations: o microwave transmitter / optical tracking sensor o high energy laser / optical tracking sensor (straylight) IL Pointing Technology : Why not Silex ?
