ERMIS-3 establishes laser link with ground station

1 Nov 2 · 6d ago · 1 post · 1 source · development 1 of 2

Weeks after commissioning, ERMIS-3 successfully established an optical communications link with the Holomondas Optical Ground Station (HolOGS-1) in Greece, developed by Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The achievement used Astrolight's ATLAS-1 optical terminal and demonstrated precise pointing, acquisition and tracking capabilities.
