    044 - Hollow Corner Cube Retro-Reflectors In-Orbit PNT

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 20/12/2021
    Optical solid Corner Cube Retro-reflectors (CCR) are often implemented to allow laser tracking of satellites from ground. In order to achieve a measureable return signal, such corner cubes are typically rather large and, as conventional corner cubes are made of glass, also high in mass. A hollow CCR, made of three orthogonal flat mirror surfaces, offers theoretically superior performance and a…
