Today we are very proud to be able to kick off the first of hopefully a series of projects in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) with the goal to develop guide star laser technology for future applications in space situational awareness and satellite laser communications. Within the first risk reduction project, we will examine in detail the technical risks for achieving the goals set by ESA. These include a significant increase in laser guide star return flux and daytime use of the adaptive optics system.
