Abstract

The JPL Optical Communications Telescope Laboratory (OCTL) facility is designed to investigate laser beam propagation strategies to support optical communications to NASA’s deep-space probes. The OCTL has recently propagated 30-nrad beams to retroreflecting low-Earth-orbiting (LEO) satellites. This article describes these experiments and future experiment plans.
