dc.description.abstractThe purpose of the research is to develop acquisition, tracking, and pointing technologies for the Bifocal Relay Mirror Spacecraft and verify these technologies with the experimental test-bed. Because of the stringent accuracy requirement of the laser beam and the agile maneuverability requirement, significant research is needed to develop acquisition, tracking, and pointing technologies for the Bifocal Relay Mirror Spacecraft. In this paper, development of the Bifocal Relay Mirror Spacecraft experimental test-bed is presented in detail. The current operational results are also presented including precision attitude control of the spacecraft for fine tracking and pointing.
