A description is given of a laser communications satellite system which provides high data-rate information transfer with privacy, survivability, and resistance to jamming. The all-digital system is designed to produce a one-gigabit data rate. The problems associated with atmospheric attenuation, especially clouds and rainfall, are discussed.
