Modeling of laser communication ground station
admin 2023-12-16T07:51:54+00:00On December 14th, Arshia, one of our grad students of space engineering major, build a replica of a satellite which demonstrated how a space laser ground station -that is a vital component for communication system- works. Laser beams, these ground stations facilitate high-speed data transmission, enabling a more efficient and secure means of communication in comparison to traditional radio frequency communication. These ground stations typically consist of precise optical systems for transmitting and receiving laser signals, specialized tracking systems to maintain alignment with orbiting satellites, and sophisticated data processing equipment to handle the high-speed optical data. As space missions increasingly [...]
