  • Abstract
    We discuss use of inertial sensors to facilitate deep space optical communications. Implementation of this concept requires accurate and wide bandwidth inertial sensors. In this presentation, the principal concept and algorithm using linear accelerometers will be given along with the simulation and experimental results.
