Laser-Guide-Star Satellite for Ground-Based Adaptive Optics Imaging of Geosynchronous Satellites by Marlow, Weston, Carlton, Ashley, Hyosang, Yoon, Clark, James, Haughwout, Christian, Cahoy, Kerri, Males, Jared, Close, Laird, Morzinski, Katie

“…Although the preliminary analysis indicates that a single satellite guide star cannot be used for observing multiple astronomical targets, it will only require a little propellant to relocate within the geosynchronous belt. Results of a design study on the feasibility of a small-satellite guide star have been presented, and the potential benefits to astronomical imaging and to the larger space situational awareness community have been highlighted.…”
