日本邮政省通信综合研究所完成了新的光学设施——“空间光通信地面中心”的建设工程。 空间光通信具有大容量数据传送、设备体积小、重量轻、无干扰等优点,将成为21世纪宇宙通信的重要手段。该地面中心是以口径为1.5米的望远镜系统为核心,设有各种装置,除进行空间通信外,还备有用于天体观测等多种研究的光学设备。 Japan’s Post and Telecommunications Institute of Communications completed the construction of a new optical facility, the Space Optical Communication Ground Center. Space optical communications with large-capacity data transmission, equipment, small size, light weight, non-interference, etc., will become an important means of 21st century communications in the universe. The ground center is based on a telescope system with a diameter of 1.5 m. It is equipped with various devices for space communication as well as optical equipment for various studies such as celestial observation.
