| Zusammenfassung |
| In 2006 bi-directional optical inter-satellite communication
experiments were conducted between the Japan Aerospace Exploration
Agency (JAXA) Optical Inter-orbit Communications Engineering Test
Satellite (OICETS) and the European Space Agency (ESA) multi-purpose
telecommunications and technology demonstration satellite (Advanced
Relay and Technology MISsion) ARTEMIS. On 5 April 2006, an
experiment was successfully carried out by maintaining the
inter-satellite link during OICETS's setting behind the Earth limb
until the signal was lost. This setup resembles an occultation
observation where the influence of Earth's atmosphere is evident in
the power fluctuations recorded at ARTEMIS's (and OICETS's)
receiver. These fluctuations do not exist or are at a low level at a
link path above the atmosphere and steadily increase as OICETS sets
behind the horizon until the tracking of the signal is lost. This
specific experiment was performed only once since atmospheric
science was not the goal of this demonstration. Nevertheless, this
kind of data, if available more frequently in future, can help to
study atmospheric turbulence and validate models. The data present
here were recorded at ARTEMIS. |
