The pointing and tracking control concept for an experimental ground-based laser beam relay satellite is described. The satellite receives a low-power laser beam from a ground-based laser, processes it, and reflects it to an instrumented target. The primary control objective is to achieve extremely accurate and stable pointing at the target, including moving targets. This is achieved using an optical/inertial stabilization technique. The paper describes the satellite optical layout and pointing control mechanization.
