Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Small Optical TrAnsponder (SOTA) has been launch on 24th May 2014, which is developed by National Institute of Information and Communication Technology (NICT) and installed on a 50 kg-class piggy-bag satellite “SOCRATES (Space Optical Communication Research Advanced Technology Satellite)”of H2A launch vehicle. In this paper, we describe preparative statuses of receiving system equipment at an optical ground station for the laser communication demonstrations between the ground station and LEO (Low Earth Orbit). In this report, we describe the feasibility study of an optical antenna characteristics measuring on LEO under strongly limited system resources such as boarding on a 50 kg-class small satellite.
