STK and application in simulation of the space laser communication network

Abstract

Laser communication with its large capacity communication, strong confidentiality, structure of light and other advantages is becoming research focus. Space laser communications networking technology is communicated network of bi-directional and multi-directional network, which is made of satellites, ground station, near the space vehicle and so on. This paper uses the STK (Satellite Tool Kit) on a visibility analysis of the laser communication in satellite network between different bits. Simulation results demonstrate the two-dimensional or three-dimensional chart.
