日本邮政省电波研究所在气象厅气象卫星中心的协助下,成功地进行了从该研究所向位于赤道上空36000km的静止轨道上的“向日葵”卫星传输激光的试验。这是世界上最早实现的地面-静止卫星之间的激光传输。该所正在研究利用激光信标高精度检测卫星等宇宙飞行体的姿态的方法。使用这种方法比以前采用的由太阳传感器,地球传感器等得到的姿态的检 Japan’s Post and Telecommunications Institute of Radio and Television, with the assistance of the Meteorological Agency’s Meteorological Satellite Center, successfully conducted a test from the institute to the “Sunflower” satellite on a geostationary orbit 36,000km above the equator. This is the earliest laser transmission between terrestrial and quiescent satellites in the world. The institute is studying how to use laser beacons to accurately detect the attitude of satellites and other spacecraft. Using this method than previously adopted by the sun sensor, the earth sensor and so on the attitude of the seizure
