Effects of satellite velocity aberration and atmospheric refraction on direction of propagation of laser radiation reflected from satellite back to earth are examined; two-dimensional aberration equation is derived to illustrate relativistic optics; three-dimensional equations useful for laser-satellite communication experiments; refraction problem is examined; approximations introduced lead to simple equation; latter provides quantitative description of refraction as function of wavelength for radiation propagating to or from satellite at any altitude.
