Abstract
One of the key technologies for optical inter-satellite communication equipment is the rapid, highly accurate acquisition and tracking of the corresponding satellite. Therefore, we are developing a prototype of an acquisition and tracking system. This paper describes the specifications and performance test results of the prototype acquisition and tracking system.
