Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) An earth optical beacon observed from satellite looks like a point similar to bright point.Thus the spot image of a optical beacon is very useful for calibration, correction of the earth's suface image taken by optical radiometers,since it corresponds to an infinitively small landmark whose absolute location and brightness are know precisely. We conducted experiments of transmitting a lase beam and sunlight reflex from a ground optical station to MOS-1 and JERS-1 satellites,and analized earth images.In this paper,the result of experiments and data analises includind image geometric error evolution and satellite attitude estimation,are presented.
