Abstract
HY-2 satellite carried China’s first laser communication equipment (LCE) into space. An on-orbit micro-vibration measurement unit (OMMU) was also onboard to provide assistant data for laser beam pointing prediction and correction. In the present study, firstly the pointing stability requirement of LCE was analyzed according to the payload parameters. Then the on-orbit data of OMMU was presented, based on which, the mechanical model of the satellite was modified to predict the angular jitter of the laser beam. Finally, the analyze results was verified by satellite-to-ground laser communication tests. It was concluded that the micro-vibration induced by moving parts onboard the satellite has little effect on satellite-to-ground laser communication.
